SkySafari 4 Plus is everything in SkySafari 4, plus more. It adds a hugely expanded database, wired or wireless telescope control, and spaceflight. Take stargazing to the
next level!
This version includes 2.5 million stars, 31,000 deep sky objects, the Solar System's major planets and moons, over 4,000 updatable asteroids, comets, and satellites.
Simulate the sky from any place in the Solar System, up to 10,000 years in the past or future. Expand your astronomical knowledge with over 1500 encyclopedic descriptions
of the constellations, stars, and planets. Enjoy more than 800 images from NASA space missions, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the world's foremost
astro-photographers.
Leave Earth's surface behind with SkySafari 4 Plus! Tap the Orbit button to fly into orbit around other objects in the Solar System and beyond. Follow eclipses,
occultations, and transits in Earth's sky! View the planets and their moons as only NASA space probes have - even label every crater on them.
SkySafari 4 Plus adds wired or wireless control for Celestron, Meade, Orion, SkyWatcher, and many other computerized telescopes. It can point your GoTo or "Push-To"
telescope anywhere in the sky, using your device's built-in Bluetooth, and a Bluetooth serial adapter (sold separately). Plan observing sessions with Observing Lists, log
your observations into them, and share them with friends. More astronomers use SkySafari for telescope control than any other app!
Plus is a powerful planetarium that fits in your pocket. It puts millions of stars and all the planets at your fingertips and contains encyclopedic descriptions of the
constellations, stars and planets. It lets you find objects in the sky using your device's built-in compass and accelerometer. Use the interactive star chart from anywhere
on the globe! No need to walk away from the city lights - the star chart shows you all of the stars and planets at their exact spots. Connect your telescope to it and
bring the distant worlds even closer.
There's even more in SkySafari 4 Pro - but Plus will keep anyone with a small backyard telescope busy for years.
Here's what's new in version 4:
* Complete rewrite of compass code for much smoother and more accurate motion tracking.

* Completely reinvented scope control panel.
* Objects lists under Search are now sortable by name, number, magnitude, RA, Dec, and many other properties.

constellation, brighter than a certain magnitude, etc.

* New Telescope Equipment settings let you enter a list of all your telescope equipment. Select different combinations of eyepieces and telescopes to display field-of-view
automatically. Set up a separate camera and auto-guider FOV. All FOV indicators can be labelled in the sky chart.
