Excellent tool for astrophotography
J C Luque
Easy to use. Has it’s flaws when used as go-to, understandable due to the complexity of algorithms that are needed for such a task, but if supervised carefully it works well. Intuitive interface easy to get along. Thumbs up!
Star dreams
Cybernetes
See. I grew up in the foothills east of San Diego, California. The sky is often clear enough to see many stars most of the year. Sky & Telescope magazine makes it easy to explore the sky and follow the location of planets , stars, and comets. Now I live in Fresno where the sky is most often shrouded by haze, and now it’s worse with the Summer-long forrest fires. But with Sky Safari Pro I can follow the gems in the sky without concern for the haze, dust storms, or the occasional low pressure area.
App Suggestion

Love this app. A suggestion to make it better, could you include an iOS 14 widget that gives quick information like moon or planet rises or phases?
A lot of features, some are hard to find

I needed help from the developers to turn on AR mode: 1-enable toolbar 2-slide it sideways to find the compass 3-click compass 4-click “A/R” 5- swipe down on screen to increase contrast to see AR in screen
Best astronomy app

Pro version: Very great tool for serious amateur astronomy. I love how you can see what the object looks like in the eyepiece. Great for Star-hopping if you don’t have a clock drive. I also think the AR feature is amazing! You can go deep sky with this app. Tons of options.
No galaxy view

I have sky safari 6. No galaxy view is available as an icon. The help menu has been read thru and galaxy view is not even mentioned. Where the heck is it. Frustrating.
Not good for scope orientation

If your buying this app to orient your telescope be aware the app is only as good as the phone compass, in the case of the new IPhone X it useless the phone often gives me the message phone can’t find true north and it’s pointing towards magnetic north is also out by more than a few degrees. Most of the time I’ll point it north and it tells me I’m looking south east. This version is a great disappointment as previous versions I’ve used worked reasonably Well. Sad!!
Works great with StarSense

Just added Celestron’s StarSense Autoalign to my Nexstar Evolution C8, SkySafari Pro (with Tilt) is a joy to use—I prefer using SSP for my observing over the Hand Controller.
