Orion StarSeek 3 Pro
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
From premier telescope maker Orion Telescopes & Binoculars comes a fun, powerful, and content-rich astronomy app for stargazers from beginner to advanced. With Orion StarSeek 3 Pro anyone can easily find, identify, and learn about stars, planets, constellations, galaxies, and nebulas in the night sky from your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad!
What’s more, StarSeek 3 Pro enables control of most computerized “GoTo” telescopes from your Apple device with the optional Orion StarSeek Wi-Fi module or (coming soon!) Orion StarSeek Telescope Control Cable.
NOTE: Orion is the exclusive licensee for distribution of the Southern Stars SkySafari apps, sold by Orion under the name StarSeek. The current versions of StarSeek 3 Pro and StarSeek 3 Max are largely identical to SkySafari 3 Plus and SkySafari 3 Pro, respectively. StarSeek 3 (standard) is a smaller, 50MB edition that differs substantively from SkySafari 3.
With an iPhone 3GS, 4, iPad or iPad 2, or 4th-generation iPod Touch, just hold it up to any portion of the sky and StarSeek automatically displays a matching star map that moves as you move your iDevice! Identify stars and planets by holding your phone next to them. Pinpoint any object in the sky by simply following the guiding arrow!
StarSeek 3 Pro contains a database of 2.5 million stars down to 12th magnitude; 31,000 deep-sky objects including the entire NGC, IC, Messier, and Caldwell catalogs; 700 solar system objects (8 planets, 22 moons, 110 satellites, 298 comets, and 327 asteroids); plus hundreds of scalable astrophotos embedded in the star map.
StarSeek 3 Pro also includes SkyWeek from Sky & Telescope magazine. SkyWeek is a week-at-a-glance summary of sky events featuring interactive sky charts.
With StarSeek you can see a detailed, colorful map of the night sky from any location on Earth up to 100 years in the past or future. Double tap on any celestial object to pull up intriguing information about it. Animate the night sky by compressing up to years of time into seconds! Optional, red “night vision” mode helps preserve your eyes’ dark adaptation.
StarSeek 3’s gorgeous, streamlined user interface and seemingly infinite content takes exploring the night sky to an exciting new dimension! Download it today!
NOTE: The all-new StarSeek 3 Pro app requires iOS 4 or later on your Apple device.
WHAT’S NEW in StarSeek 3 Pro:
1) Ooh! Spectacular new horizon panoramas, improved Sun glow, horizon glow, and sunset effects.
2) Scrolling toolbar - swipe it to access new Compass, Gyro, and Night Vision buttons.
3) Artistic illustrations of all 88 constellations, which fade in and out of view as you pan.
4) Animated panning to selected objects.
5) Support for the gyroscope built into the iPhone 4, 4th-gen iPod Touch, and iPad 2 for smoother tracking motion.
6) SkyWeek from Sky & Telescope magazine!
7) "Tonight's Best" list of objects, customized for your location, date, and time.
8) Comets are now rendered more realistically, with tails.
9) Orbits of the planets and their moons illustrate their paths through space.
10) Brighter constellation labels are brighter. Adjustable deep-sky object label intensity.
11) A "local Align" (sync) function for Orion, Celestron, and SkyWatcher telescopes.
12) For computerized "push-to" telescopes, StarSeek now does a 2-star alignment, eliminating the need to level the telescope mount base.
13) A confirmation alert when aligning your telescope on a target object - prevents accidentally aligning on the wrong object.
