You arrive at a camp by Lake Aurelia, in New Zealand's Mackenzie Basin, at 17:20 with a van, a campfire and a case of camera gear, and a nine-step checklist walks you through the setup: tripod, camera, lens, battery and card, manual mode and focus. Pressing T skips ahead to moments such as blue hour, astronomical night or the time Orion clears the eastern hills, and the sky fills with stars that the game says come from real catalogs. Your field notes set two main shots, the Milky Way core and Orion, plus bonus challenges like star trails, a meteor or a satellite crossing the frame. Best on a computer: it needs a keyboard and mouse.
How the creator made it
The creator says Claude Sonnet 5.5 built the astrophotography game in one shot. They say it took about five hours and used 12% of their weekly Claude allowance.
