Digital stargazing app for mobile
SkySafari 7 Pro is a premium reference application for mobile devices made by developer Simulation Curriculum Corp. It’s an astronomy app that provides users with a vast and detailed map of the stars in the sky. With it, they can view and know more about the various constellations known to man.
Much like the Stellarium Plus – Star Map, SkySafari 7 Pro lets users explore the galaxy and the stars from the comforts of their homes. It provides a wealth of knowledge and information that enthusiasts will appreciate while welcoming new people to the hobby of stargazing.
Gaze upon the stars
Stargazing is one of those special interests and hobbies that require powerful telescopes to get a good view of the starry sky. However, those types of equipment can cost a pretty penny that not everyone can afford. That’s why stellariums were created to let people appreciate the galaxy with the naked eye. Think of SkySafari 7 Pro as your own personal pocket window to the stars.
This app boasts the largest database of information on everything about the solar system and the various known objects that make it up. Input your coordinates to get a real-time view of the stars in that sky at any given moment. Telescope Support has added support for ASCOM Alpaca and INDI protocols for greater control and the ability to connect to more astronomical devices.
The new Events Finder feature provides information on current and upcoming astronomical events that you can simulate right on your device. Meanwhile, OneSky lets you see what others are viewing, and SkyCast allows you to guide a friend through the sky on their app. All of this comes at a cost, though, and that’s increased complexity, which results in a higher learning curve for new users.
One of the best
All in all, the new SkySafarui 7 Pro is the best and most complete package yet for astronomy enthusiasts. It’s still the largest source of knowledge about the solar system, and its new features make the experience even more educational, immersive, and just plain better. Once you get past the added complexity, it will be all you will ever really need. Highly recommended.
