Point it anywhere
Rings mark the real stars and planets your camera can see. Put anything in the centre circle to see what it is, how far away it is, and how long its light took to reach you.
-
Dive in for a close-up
Hold something in the circle and the view dives in: Saturn with its rings, and its moons going round.
-
Ask where anything is
Type or say “Where is Saturn?” An arrow leads you there. If it’s below the horizon, you’re told when and where it comes up.
-
Take the sky tour
A guided trip through the best things up right now, read aloud, starting near where you’re pointing.
-
See where it sits in the Milky Way
A little map shows which way through our galaxy you’re looking, and how far away the star is.
-
Out to other galaxies
Andromeda is 2.5 million light-years away. The close-up flies you from our spiral to theirs.
-
Hear the sky as music
Listen turns the sky into a music box: each star rings as it reaches its highest point in the sky. Play tonight turns the whole night into a short song.
Made for dark skies
Everything works offline, so it’s ready at a dark site with no signal. Night vision turns the names, maps and buttons red to help keep your eyes used to the dark. If your compass is a little off, line up on the Moon or a bright star and the names sit right on the real sky.
