How It Works

Astrophotography setups can quickly become complex. As equipment grows and configurations evolve, managing everything across spreadsheets, notes, and memory becomes difficult and time-consuming.

AstroArmory brings everything into one place — giving you a structured, visual way to manage your gear, build rigs, plan sessions, and track your results.

🛠 BUILD YOUR RIG

AstroArmory allows you to construct your astrophotography rig using a structured, visual layout. By selecting equipment from your inventory, you can build a complete system that reflects your real-world setup.

Each component — including your mount, telescope, camera, filters, reducers, and guiding equipment — is organized in a logical configuration, making it easy to understand how everything connects.

As you build your rig, AstroArmory provides a clear visual representation of your system, calculates important metrics, and does compatibility checks, helping you verify your setup before you ever go outside.

📦 MANAGE YOUR EQUIPMENT

The Inventory system acts as the foundation of AstroArmory. You can store all of your astrophotography equipment in one place, organized by category and detailed specifications.

Each piece of equipment includes relevant information such as technical parameters, weight, and configuration details. This structured approach ensures that your gear is not only tracked, but also ready to be used in building rigs and planning sessions.

By centralizing your equipment, AstroArmory eliminates the need to manage multiple lists or spreadsheets.

📸 MANAGE YOUR PORTFOLIO & PLAN SESSIONS

AstroArmory allows you to organize your astrophotography projects and connect them directly to the rigs and sessions used to capture them. By linking your images to your equipment and sessions, you build a structured history of your work. This makes it easier to track what worked, what didn’t, and how your setup has evolved over time.

You can also create sessions tied to specific rigs, helping you keep track of how and when each setup is used. This makes it easier to stay organized across multiple imaging nights and maintain consistency in your workflow. Whether you’re planning a quick backyard session or a multi-night imaging trip, AstroArmory helps you stay prepared.

💰 TRACK YOUR COSTS

Astrophotography is an investment, and AstroArmory helps you keep track of it.

By assigning costs to your equipment, you can see the total value of your setup and understand how your investment is distributed across different components.

This provides clarity when selling equipment, planning upgrades and helps you make more informed decisions about future purchases.

🎒 PACKING LISTS

Preparing for an imaging session can involve dozens of components — from cameras and cables to power supplies and accessories.

AstroArmory automatically generates packing lists based on your selected rig, ensuring that all required equipment is accounted for. You can also add custom items to tailor your list to specific trips or setups.

With a built-in checklist, you can quickly verify that everything is packed and ready before heading out.
