SkySafari 7 Pro

By V.Tyree (Pcmac user)

I have been using SkySafari 6 Pro for several years and I have found it to be an indispensable tool for planning astrophotography sessions and for controlling my GoTo telescope drive. When SkySafari 7 Pro was offered, I immediately installed it. I found the user interface to be enough different from version 6, that it took some time to change my procedures to use it. This problem apparently had something to do with the fact that I had not re-booted the iPad in a very long time because after I re-booted the iPad the crashes stopped. This problem is resolved > 1) Tapping the “Observations” item on my iPad installation causes an immediate crash. This problem resulted from the changed user interface - it is resolved > 2) In SkySafari 6 there are a number of Field of View Display Options available, including “Show Even if not Connected to Telescope”. This option is critical to planning an astrophotography session. SkySafari 7 does not have this option as well as the other necessary option: “Field Rotation Angle”. Lacking these options makes SkySafari 7 useless for those of us who are planning astrophotography sessions. Please include them in future updates. I think SkySafari 7 Pro has the potential to be as useful as version 6 when missing user interface issues (as described above) are resolved. Over all, this version 7 is looking like it will be even better than version 6.
No images!

By JumboShirmp (Pcmac user)

I am disappointed! After spending a few hours getting to know and configuring the app I still can’t see any images of any galaxies or clusters of stars. I have even downloaded the in-app purchase of the 3 million galaxies and 90 million stars. In my app configuration I have it shows objects and images within the deep this app but no images are showing up! All I see are circles and dotted circles. Every time I tap on them and then orbit to it, it shows nothing but blank. And I have also used the “show dss image “ option but it will only show a picture of distance stars and not the actual images that is supposed to be there! For instance, when I tap on a circle, the info button will say it’s a galaxy (Andromeda for instance) then orbit option, it then fly you to it, but it goes to a blank circle. What fun is that?! And when you used the “show DSS image” option, it will show you a picture of distance stars, not the galaxy! The whole app doesn’t show any galaxy images at all! The stars images will come up but I don’t even know if it’s the correct image or not. The concept is good but it needs the correct images to whatever you’re observing. Overall it’s a bland observation app! I’m saying when you use an observation app, want to observe the correct thing, right? Not nothing! I really hope it’s a bug in the app, either that I have wasted my money!
Powerful and Indespensible.. Blew me away

By Oneeye2sky (Pcmac user)

This is the best mobile tool to have at the telescope or for casual visual observing or astro-photography that I have ever seen. Yes, the learning curve will take a minute to get the settings the way you like them for your equipment, but there is simply no better way I know of to star hop around the this app in the dark than this.. (Much better than the old paper charts, and DIY coat hanger wire FOV rings laid on the charts with the red flashlight held in my teeth I used back in the day! LOL). It looks to be efficient and is indispensable with GOTO mounts too. The field of view overlays, observing list development and observation logging functions are fantastic. Love it. Just get it. It’s what you need outside in the dark.. (And on cloudy nights!) I would maybe like to see a future enhancement someday of: 1: The ability to attach PDFs or images to observing log entries for organizing drawn sketches or images I find useful to add to the notes etc. 2: The ability to draw in a local horizon mask to add for trees and houses you deal with in your own yard.. to add as an alternative option to the other panorama shots or perfect horizon line that is in there. What a great piece of software. Thanks.
Simply the best

By DmitriyMark (Pcmac user)

Being fond of stargazing since yearly childhood, I have tried multiple astronomy apps, and this one is by far the best one. My first astronomy book was by H. A. Rey “The Stars”, and the fact that this app offers “Modern” constellation lines (similar the ones in the H. A. Rey’s book) was a very pleasant surprise. And way more than that, from the basic this app object information to the advanced telescope control. I have to mention the outstanding ergonomics; this app is very convenient and pleasant to use. The only con I can think of is its large size; it not quite noticeable on my iPad Pro, but on the older iPad Air it takes about 15 seconds to load. My older iPhone XR handles it without problems though. Overall this app is simply the best, regardless.
