Ratings and Reviews
Works well
Purchased this app because I’m a novice at identifying objects in the sky. It works well and doesn’t seem to have any bugs. I’m using it on a 2010 MacBook running HIgh Sierra. The features in it are intuitive. One night it showed the Hubble Space Telescope rising; I went out and used the program to orient myself and sure enough, there was the HST.
Wonderful!
This is an excellent astronomy program, unless perhaps you might be a professional and in need of something rather more powerful. Don't hesitate to spring for this, and it is worth if to purchase the in-house add-ons as you can see fit to do so.
Best Celecstial App by far
SkySafari 6 has everything that I was looking for and then some:
Names of constaltions, stars and planets, also the
display changes autimatically keyed to my location and time of day.
I can change to direction up and down 360 deg to view anything above (or delow) the horizon.
Plus lots more that I am just stating to explore.
New Apple OS did not support the celestial app that I had oved for over 10 years. Others proved to be a waste of time and money.
