MACWORLD 2010 BEST OF SHOW WINNER!
SkyVoyager is our "Pro" iPhone astronomy app - if you are a beginner, or looking for something simpler, you might want to check out SkyGazer, our "Lite" version.
SkyVoyager is a powerful astronomy program, with a database of 300,000 stars and 30,000 deep sky objects. It renders the planets and moons in detail, using NASA mission imagery.
SkyVoyager includes an Expansion Pack with 2.5 million stars, and more than 300 color deep sky object images, dramatically increasing the realism and usefulness of your sky charts. This is an optional $5 in-app purchase, available in the Settings.
SkyVoyager is a planetarium that precisely shows the sky from any location on Earth, at any time in the past or future. It contains informative descriptions of the planets, stars, and constellations; and includes hundreds of images from both NASA and leading astro-photographers.
If you have an iPhone 3G S with a compass, SkyVoyager can show you the sky in same the direction that you're holding your phone. Shake the phone to activate its compass and/or accelerometer - now you can identify stars and planets by holding your phone next to them! You can find any object in the sky by following an arrow that points in its direction. (Go to Settings -> Coordinates to enable Compass support.)
SkyVoyager contains interface themes that let you change the look-and-feel of the app, including a much-improved "Night Vision" theme that preserves your dark adaption as you're exploring the night sky.
The Time Flow feature lets you animate the night sky using simple VCR controls. Follow the motion of the stars and planets as SkyVoyager compresses days, months, and years into a few seconds.
If you have a computer-controlled telescope, SkyVoyager can use your iPhone or iPod's WiFi to point it in the sky. SkyVoyager's simple user interface, and its ability to wirelessly control your scope, make it an invaluable tool for exploring the heavens.
Carina Software has licensed SkyVoyager to Orion Telescopes and Binoculars for separate distribution on the app store under the name StarSeek. Support questions for StarSeek should be sent to Orion Telescopes. Carina Software will continue to support, maintain, and develop SkyVoyager in the future.
