#SKYSAFARI 5 VS SKYSAFARI PLUS PRO#

ThereвЂ™s so much to Sky Safari Pro 5 that we could have happily explored its possibilities if the skies had been clear every night. We found it accurate in taking us to any selected object above the horizon but the accuracy does depend on the precision of the initial Go-To alignment of the mount.Д®quipment, cameras and CCDs can all be added to the Sky Safari Pro 5 app allowing you to customise to your own setup. This latter function is usually automatic but can be manually done from the Solar System menu, which also updates asteroid and comet elements too.Д«y purchasing the wireless SkyFi unit or the wired SkyWire accessory, any Go-To telescope listed in the Telescope settings page can be controlled as long as a star alignment has been performed first. Satellites can be shown as long as their elements have been updated. The compass button in the main menu allows you to hold the display up to the sky to match and identify what you can see, which is ideal for novices learning their way round the sky or for anyone trying to identify a planet or object. Horizon panoramas from 18 sites around the world add an extra touch of realism or you can choose to show the ground as translucent, opaque or not at all, which can feel strange when you have stars all around you. You can also search for named, brightest or nearest stars вЂ“ the latter makes a good guide to our local neighbourhood and can be quite revealing in the range of brightness from dazzling Sirius to much fainter red dwarves. The search function is particularly useful in that it breaks down into a huge range of categories to make your search more specific.ДЄ nice touch is the ability to choose from a range of deep-sky objects, including the Messier or Caldwell catalogues, and itвЂ™s good to see popular asterisms included even if the Plough has become the Big Dipper. This lets you choose whether to display them or confine your view to a particular type of object, which is good if youвЂ™re planning an evening of planetary nebula hunting, for example. The level of detailed info for display can also be adjusted so that objects such as double or multiple stars can be marked for easy identification.Дeep-sky objects can be highlighted by selecting various categories on the settings menus, such as galaxies, bright nebulae, open clusters and more. The sky simulation is adjustable to show deep-sky objects as images (where images are available), constellation lines or artworks.

The full menu can be displayed in landscape mode for both iPad and iPhone but in portrait mode it becomes swipeable to reach all the menu items.
