Astronomy Guide To Night Sky
SkySafari makes stargazing a simple pleasure. It has the largest database of any astronomy app, includes every solar system object ever discovered, offers unparalleled accuracy, advanced planning and logging tools, flawless telescope control, and provides the very best experience under the stars when you depend on it. Don’t postpone joy. Discover why SkySafari is the #1 recommended astronomy app for serious amateur astronomers since 2009.

Here's what’s new in version 7:

+ Complete support for iOS 16 and iPhone 14. Version 7 brings a new and immersive stargazing experience.

+ Events Finder - go to the new Events section to unlock a powerful search engine that finds astronomical events visible tonight and far into the future. The finder dynamically generates a listing of moon phases, eclipses, planetary moon events, meteor showers and planetary phenomenon such as conjunctions, elongations and oppositions.

+ Notifications - the notifications section has been completely revamped to allow you to customize and manage which events trigger an alert notification on your device.

+ Telescope Support - telescope control is at the heart of SkySafari.  Version 7 takes a giant leap forward by supporting ASCOM Alpaca and INDI.  These next generation control protocols allow you to effortlessly connect to hundreds of compatible astronomical devices.

Stargazing is often done on your own but looking up at the stars reminds us that we are all part of a larger interconnected universe. SkySafari 7 brings social stargazing to mobile devices with two new features to help you connect with other like minded people.

OneSky - allows you to see what other users are observing, in real time.  This feature highlights objects in the sky chart and indicates with a number how many users are observing a particular object.

SkyCast - allows you to guide a friend or group around the night sky through their own copy of SkySafari. After initiating SkyCast, you can generate a link and conveniently share it with other SkySafari users via text message, apps or social media accounts.

+ Sky Tonight -  jump to the new Tonight section to see what’s visible in your sky tonight.  Expanded information has been designed to help plan your night and includes  Moon & Sun info, calendar curations, events and the best positioned deep sky and solar system objects.

+ Improved Observation Tools - SkySafari is the perfect tool to help you plan, record and organize your observations.  New workflows make it easier to add, search, filter and sort data.

+ Home Screen and Lock Screen Widgets  keep your favorite astro information at your fingertips.

The Small Touches:

+ You can now edit the Jupiter GRS Longitude Value in the Settings.
+ Better Moon Age calculation.
+ New grid & reference options allow you to display Solstice and Equinox markers, Orbit + Node markers for all solar system objects, and tick marks and labels for the Ecliptic, Meridian, and Equator reference lines.
+ Previous In-app Purchases are Now Free -  this includes the H-R diagram, 3D Galaxy view, and the PGC galaxy and GAIA star catalogs. Enjoy.
+ Many more.

If you haven't used SkySafari 7 Pro before, here's what you can do with it:

+ Hold your device up, and SkySafari 7 Pro will find stars, constellations, planets, and more!

+ Simulate the night sky up to 100,000 years in the past or future! Animate meteor showers, conjunctions, eclipses, and other celestial events.

+ Control your telescope, log and plan your observations.

+ Optionally backup all of your observing data in our secure cloud storage and make it easily accessible to multiple devices as well as from our new web interface, LiveSky.com.

+ Augmented Reality (AR) mode

+ Night Vision.

+ Orbit Mode. Leave the Earth’s surface behind, and fly through our solar system.

+ Galaxy View shows the position of deep sky objects in our Milky Way!

Sticky Keys - Runaway Slew on Celestron

Been using their App for over a year and its been good, until the sticky key issue.. It was reported in October 2023 and has not been fixed since. Coming from the software business, this is a coding fix - not too difficult. It makes the software almost unusable. Their Support said it would be fixed in next release. Well, that release was last week and ITS STILL NOT FIXED. A refund would be nice.

What’s the point of the Pro Version?

I have been using the Plus version for years and it’s great. But, last night I was reading The Astrophotography Planner by Charles Bracken. It only covers 87 objects to photograph and one is CTB1 also known as Abell 85, the Garlic Nebula. I searched for this in Sky Safari Plus and it wasn’t there. It had Abell 82, 83, 84, and 86 but not 85. I thought, well, it must be time for me to upgrade to Sky Safari Pro since it’s supposed to have many more objects. But, Sky Safari Pro doesn’t have Abell 85 either. Why not? For the Pro version I expect that you would have the entire Abell catalog. Why add most of the Abell list but not all of it? Seems like I wasted my money on the Pro Version. Update: the developer said I should try downloading the On Demand Data. So I did that and guess what? Still no Abell 85. When I search for Abell now it gives me 10,000 results! But not Abell 85. It still shows Abell 1-84 and 86+.

THE Astronomy App

Just forget all the other astronomy apps. This is the one you want. I’ve tried many others. This NAILED it.

Telescope direction arrow code issue

I just got “filtered out” by Skysafari (an app program for operating go-to wifi telescopes) by commenting on a FB sales promotion post (for the app), by letting potential buyers know about a serious glitch they’ve been aware of and not fixed. Their app has bad code that causes an iPad’s direction keys (up, down, left, right) to “stick” so the motion you direct the scope to go to runs on, and does not stop without continually re-tapping the direction arrows causing the scope to run pasts its target. This will be the finest app ever once the code is fixed

App crashes upon opening

The worked fine before I linked my livesky account. After signing up for it I am unable to even open the app. It closes immediately after opening it. It’s a shame because I like what this app offers but it is currently rendered useless. I restated my phone but still the app crashes upon opening it. I guess I’ll have to reinstall it and not sign in with my livesky account. I am willing to work with the devs and provide logs if possible so they can fix this bug. Then I will change this review to a 5 star as it would be deserving.

Enough with the popups and ads

I’ve used this software for years but I’ve had my fill of the incessant popups and ads to the point where I’m uninstalling it. Paid software should not have popup requests to purchase subscription features or anything else. I’m done.

Runaway Slew Buttons

Any chance you can fix the slew buttons on 7 Pro. They stick and cause a runaway mount. SkySafari is an amazing App, but this glitch needs attention….please.
