SkySafari 8 Pro is now available. Please search for that app instead as this one is now an older version that will be removed from sale soon.
SkySafari makes stargazing a simple pleasure. It has the largest database of any astronomy app, includes every comet, asteroid, satellite & 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 18 and iPhone 16. 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, INDI & StarSense Explorer. These next generation control protocols allow you to effortlessly connect to hundreds of compatible astronomical devices.
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.

SkySafari sieben Pro ist mein ständiger Begleiter bei astronomischen Führungen, Himmelsbeobachtungen und einfach sonst ich schätze die vielen Möglichkeiten und die vielen Objekte die ständig aktualisiert werden
Gravierende Fehler bei den Informationen
J'MS Matthias
Bis anhin habe ich diese App sehr gemocht. Aber ich musste leider feststellen, dass Informationen zu Objekten wie z.B NGC 6207 fehlerhaft sind! Diese Galaxie ist NICHT 63 Millionen Lichtjahre entfernt, sondern 45! Wo kann man bei Euch solche gravierenden Fehler melden? Es ist peinlich, wenn man in einer Gruppe diskutiert und da mit nachweislich falschen Zahlen kommt. CS

Setup Data from V6 to V7
Josefmueller1956
How to transfer scope and setup data from v6 pro to v7 pro? V6 is still running on iphone and ipad, shoud I erease it?
Developer Response
Hi Josef, don’t delete the data in v6. Simply go to Settings-LiveSky in v7 and login with your v6 account. It will transfer all your data over. Just make sure that in v6 you do have a livesky account (free) and under Settings-Storage you have “Backup my data to cloud storage” checked. Any questions, please reach out to us - https://support.simulationcurriculum.com - thank you for your support!
