"Great for telescope control, using it with a Celestron CPC1100 Edge HD - EXCEPT! The app doesn`t offer any control of a motor focus. A big downside if you`re looking to control your scope through your wireless from inside the house but then you have to go back outside to adjust focus each time you change targets."

"Once I managed a 4 star alignment l was impressed with the telescope control. I heard with electronic polar alignment I can achieve this with just one star alignment. Is this possible?"

"Functionally and aesthetically a great app, but its huge data storage requirements will strain many internal SD cards. In my case app itself is 47 MB - no problem, but app data requires huge 878 MB, and just now I have been requested to authorise an ADDITIONAL 660 MB of data when existing app was working just fine, so data for this app would now grow to 1.5 GB, and apparently you cannot move this data to the external SD card, which is extremely limiting and annoying."

"Paying this much for an app you would not expect to get spammed to upgrade every day, but you do. Each new day you must dismiss an ad for the pro version. There is no way to opt out, so you just have to deal with it. If I could get a refund I would, but they didn`t start this when the app was newly downloaded. Very scummy behavior. The app itself is decent and has some nice features."

"Absolutely worth it for the ability to flip the starmap so that it matches what you see on a reflector telescope. Then you add the extra stars that are not in the free version and star hopping is made so much easier! Not to mention you can add your specific equipment and it will calculate and cast a circle on the map so that it matches what you see in your scope perfectly."

"A friend told me to get this and helped me set it up. So I can`t address the difficulty of setup. What I can say is that once it was set up it was easy to use. It allows me to control my 17 year old telescope with a state of the art interface making it seem like new. I can easily find and track objects far too small to see with my naked eyes."

DESCRIPTION
SkySafari 6 Plus goes beyond most basic astronomy star map apps by providing you with a full-featured space simulator and telescope control.
Note that there is no discount upgrade path from SkySafari 6 Plus to SkySafari 6 Pro. Choose carefully!
Here`s what`s new in version 6:
1) Clouds and Astronomy. Two words that rarely go together. Rewritten from the ground up, SkySafari 6 Plus will (optionally) back up 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
2) We Have The Best Stars. Precise, modern and deep. We’ve updated our star catalog to use the latest and greatest, UCAC5 star catalog.
3) We Have The Best Galaxies. The PGC catalog includes galaxies down to 18th magnitude.
4) Observers First. A redesign of our tools puts the active observer first. Quick access to features like your equipment, observing sites, lists, and observations make it easy and enjoyable to get out, observe, and record your observations.
5) Graph It. The completely new graph tool will give a quick visual representation of an object’s altitude above the horizon. Essential for planning your night’s observations.
6) Plan It. Make the most of your time under the stars. Our updated planner is a powerful tool that lets you create a list of targets for your observing session with filters like object types, specific time ranges, constellation, catalog, and more. Plan it and get more done.
7) Tilt It. Every old astronomy app these days lets your tilt and pan your device to show different parts of the sky, but who else lets you control your telescope that way!? “Tilt to slew” is an optional mode allowing you to keep your eye in the eyepiece, and, using the accelerometers in your device, gently translate the movements of your hands into smooth telescope motion.
8) Share It. SkySafari 6 is more than just a mobile sky map app, it’s a new system to help organize and share your observing experiences. With a free signup, you can see and share your observing data from our web portal, LiveSky.com! Affordable premium memberships add online editing, so you can not only view, but edit your observations, add new observing sites, manage your equipment and more. Finally, you can view, edit and manage your settings files with SkySafari Web, our fully functional web version.
For even more features, and a gigantic database aimed at the most dedicated amateur or professional astronomer, check out SkySafari 6 Pro!
