Updated 26 Feb 2024 Thank you for using RawCam(MilkyCam Raw) iOS app. It is a way to see galaxies and  nebulae in small and medium telescope. RawCam is designed for both manual and Goto telescope while the original MilkyCam and SpiralCam are designed for manual telescope.  Some Quick Settings: For manual telescope, RawCam shots are limited to the time when the sky object drift across the eye piece. To use with a manual telescope, choose 1/2 second or lower for EXP(exposure) and choose 1 frame for SUB(number of exposure in a stack).  For Goto telescope with tracking, the RawCam shots duration can be 10 minutes or more.

RawCam uses addition instead of average in stacking.  RawC
