Description
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!

Ratings and Reviews
Of all time the the most realistic and pro astronomy application
This is a real professional astronomical application. If you have a telescope this is the real deal.
For only observation by the phone i highly recommend reading the tips and be familiar with interface and all basic settings, a little higher learning curve than the others. Don’t enable full magnitude and enable all settings at once, try each settings and watch how it looks like is my advice.
Good even for me
This is, no doubt, a great astronomy program, and I have gone pro through several major version numbers. Why? I'm not an astronomer (but have some tentacles probing around in [research level] astrophysics) and don't even own a telescope due to living in the middle of a city with severe light pollution everywhere, so why do I want such an impressive astronomy thingamabob? Well, partly because of my lack of a telescope: This becomes my telescope! There are other reasons, such as that it has a huge (but still missing quite many objects I go looking for) catalog, and if there's something a nosy scurrying seeker-of-everything like myself needs, it's a huge catalog! Another big plus is the pretty many but sometimes far too brief "articles" about various objects; often with pictures and whatnot. It's not unusual to find facts here that I actually can't find elsewhere. On the back side, to moan a little after all praise, the search function is (for me) suboptimal. Wider possibilities to give search terms would be liquid gold. That, and the black holes (sorry!) in the catalog makes me unable to go above four, eeeh, stars.
Golden app with very minor issues
Great app. A few issues I experienced:
- Gimbal lock in zenith and nadir with quirky movement.
- Can’t continue in AR mode after selecting a star, would like to remain in AR mode until zooming or pushing information button.
- Review screen in app is dark mode. Review title is white text but review body text is black.
