What Stellara Is

Stellara is a web app for amateur astronomers who want one place to plan nights under the stars. It is built and maintained as a small independent project, not a large company platform.

What It Offers

  • ISS tracking: pass timing, visibility context, and tracker tools
  • Weather and astronomy conditions: cloud cover, wind, humidity, seeing, transparency, moon and sun context
  • Astronomy events: upcoming night-sky events and planning context
  • NASA APOD: daily APOD content integrated into the site
  • Community: posts, comments, profiles, and reactions
  • Notifications: in-app notifications with optional email notifications
  • AI assistant: astronomy help based on your setup and sky context, with daily limits for free users and extended access for Pro users

Project Goal

The goal is simple: help observers decide what is worth observing tonight, faster and with fewer tabs open. Stellara is designed as a practical planning tool, then a community place to share what you captured.
