Release notes

  • Version 1.0.5 adds an artificial horizon to the night camera. The white line is the true horizon.
  • Pitch marks show degrees above and below that line. The wings stay fixed to the phone.
  • The see-through Milky Way photograph still follows the galactic sky. Gold marks the core.
