New: The Tonight view has been enriched. In addition to the moonlight, it now shows the weather forecast for the coming night and the following days. Observable objects are now sorted by your means of observation: naked eye, binoculars, telescope, and so on. The best way to plan your observing night. Fixed: The disabled "Geolocate at start" mode now works. In some cases the map was incorrect when viewing a location outside your own time zone.

New: - Added a stellar energy graph. - Added an HR diagram for stars, explaining the stellar life cycle with text explanations. Bug fixes: - Fixed Milky Way settings not being saved. - Restored the legend in the variable stars view. - Added the version number to the credits. - Refined the HR diagram model, which now includes star radius. - Changed the icon for images in the optics map overlay. - Improved precision when tapping objects.

NEW - Real sky images from various surveys in the optics view: see beyond the map with actual photographs of any part of the sky in the eyepiece or finder, center your camera perfectly, and catch the best guiding star. BUG FIXES - Fixed inverted pinch-to-zoom in the optics settings menu - The Moon is now displayed correctly in night (red) mode - Fixed deep-sky halo sizes and orientation - Fixed star absolute magnitudes

New in this version - Aurora forecast - see the predicted aurora over both the northern and southern hemispheres on polar maps, based on NOAA's OVATION model. - Interactive graphs across the app: - Altitude and azimuth over time for any object - Trajectory graphs, including minor planets - Jupiter's and Saturn's moons shown as apparent east-west position charts - Jupiter's Great Red Spot transit and visibility graph - Solar geomagnetic activity (Kp index) graph - Moon libration graph - Lunar calendar with moon phases - Tonight - a quick look at what's visible tonight - Path Finder - More languages - added Czech and Finnish, plus additional translations throughout Improvements & fixes - Redesigned Help for easier navigation - Constellation lines now fade as you zoom in - Restoring defaults now also resets the map theme and menus - Cleaner Moon shadow rendering and planet textures - Performance and stability refinements

New: - New "Tonight" section: shows which objects are best observed tonight. Fixed: - The map could sometimes freeze when returning to the app. - Corrected the Moon phase display. This release brings: • A complete visual-observer atlas — millions of stars, 88 constellations, and the full Messier, NGC, IC and Caldwell catalogues, rendered by magnitude with constellation artwork, the Milky Way, coordinate grids and an accurate horizon. • Specialist deep-sky catalogues no other consumer app ships — Sharpless, van den Bergh, Lynds Bright and Dark Nebulae, Barnard dark objects, southern dark clouds and Abell galaxy clusters. • Live solar physics from NOAA — sunspot and plage regions, daily sunspot number, F10.7 flux, GOES X-ray class, flare activity, three-day Kp forecasts and aurora maps for both hemispheres. • 9,900 lunar surface features across 16 IAU types, with name origins, etymologies and parent–child relationships. • Live solar-system objects from the Minor Planet Center — comets, asteroids, trans-Neptunian and interstellar objects, browsable by orbital family and searchable by name. • SIMBAD integration — open the detail of thousands of deep-sky objects and stars, and search by any cross-identifier (2MASS, GJ, 1RXS and more). • A real optics workflow — define telescopes, eyepieces, cameras, finders and binoculars; see true eyepiece field of view, Telrad rings, reticles and image flip for star-hopping at the eyepiece. • Three themes including a dark-adapted red mode for night vision, light-pollution and twilight simulation, selectable grids and reference lines, and adjustable sky quality. • Calendar integration — add rise, transit, set and twilight times for any object straight to your calendar. No ads. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. No tracking. Free, because that is what it should be. Clear skies.

Starmap returns. Eighteen years after one of the App Store's first astronomy apps, this is the new edition — rebuilt from the ground up as the most complete sky reference ever made for iPhone, and released free for everyone who still looks up.
