The full Tycho-2 catalog, drawn on the GPU, with a deeper zoom than ever. Tap any star for its name, magnitude, spectral class, temperature and position. • A photographic Milky Way that stays sharp at every zoom level, with a real horizon and twilight glow in planetarium mode. • Galaxies and nebulae as photographs. Messier objects now appear as real images on the sky, and chart symbols fade into them as you zoom in. • Constellation figures are drawn on the 3D dome, so they stay put when you move. • Thousands of new descriptions: every constellation, Messier object, planetary moon and satellite family, plus deeper planet and star write-ups. CONTROL • Pan the sky with your finger, then tap to return to camera tracking. • Switch between the camera feed and a planetarium black background. • Cinema Mode hides every control for a clean view of the sky. • Time ruler: scrub through the night, or play at up to 120x. • Drag to align. If the compass drifts, drag the sky to match what you see - the app learns the correction for next time. • Optional deep-space ambience while you stargaze. • Metric or imperial units, or automatic by region. EXPLORE • Redesigned Explore with featured objects, upcoming sky events and one-tap Add to Calendar. • Sky Calendar: a year of eclipses, oppositions, supermoons and meteor shower peaks. (Pro) • 3D planets in every detail view, and a 3D studio for planets and spacecraft. ISS AND SATELLITES • ISS Station Cam: look down at Earth from the station in high resolution, from several outside vantage points. (Pro) • Sort satellites by brightness, and see magnitude in every detail view. • Spacecraft now appear as 3D models on the sky. RECORD AND SHARE • Record clips of the Sky, Globe and Station Cam, then share them to Instagram, TikTok or Facebook, or save to Photos. Pro removes the watermark.
