Your Stunning Images Enshrined in the SkySafari Night Sky

  • Collections Commemorated

    Your hard-won astrophotos deserve more than a quiet afterlife as forgotten files or old AstroBin posts. Pinning them into your sky chart breathes new life into each frame, giving your efforts a place to live again & letting past nights return to the sky as familiar companions.

  • Build on Solved Foundations

    Pinning astrophotos into your sky chart transforms past captures into practical tools. Framing, orientation, and field placement become instant reference points for planning what comes next. The sky stops being a blank slate and starts behaving like a well-documented map.
