Description
SkySafari 6 Plus goes beyond most basic astronomy star map apps by providing you with a full-featured space simulator and telescope control.

Note that there is no discount upgrade path from SkySafari 6 Plus to SkySafari 6 Pro. Choose carefully!

Here's what's new in version 6:

1) Clouds and Astronomy. Two words that rarely go together. Rewritten from the ground up, SkySafari 6 Plus will (optionally) back up all of your observing data in our secure cloud storage and make it easily accessible to multiple devices as well as from our new web interface, LiveSky.com

2) We Have The Best Stars. Precise, modern and deep. We’ve updated our star catalog to use the latest and greatest, UCAC5 star catalog.

3) We Have The Best Galaxies. The PGC catalog includes galaxies down to 18th magnitude.

4) Observers First. A redesign of our tools puts the active observer first. Quick access to features like your equipment, observing sites, lists, and observations make it easy and enjoyable to get out, observe, and record your observations.

5) Graph It. The completely new graph tool will give a quick visual representation of an object’s altitude above the horizon. Essential for planning your night’s observations.

6) Plan It. Make the most of your time under the stars. Our updated planner is a powerful tool that lets you create a list of targets for your observing session with filters like object types, specific time ranges, constellation, catalog, and more. Plan it and get more done.

7) Tilt It. Every old astronomy app these days lets your tilt and pan your device to show different parts of the sky, but who else lets you control your telescope that way!? “Tilt to slew” is an optional mode allowing you to keep your eye in the eyepiece, and, using the accelerometers in your device, gently translate the movements of your hands into smooth telescope motion.

8) Share It. SkySafari 6 is more than just a mobile sky map app, it’s a new system to help organize and share your observing experiences. With a free signup, you can see and share your observing data from our web portal, LiveSky.com! Affordable premium memberships add online editing, so you can not only view, but edit your observations, add new observing sites, manage your equipment and more. Finally, you can view, edit and manage your settings files with SkySafari Web, our fully functional web version.

For even more features, and a gigantic database aimed at the most dedicated amateur or professional astronomer, check out SkySafari 6 Pro!

Comments on SkySafari 6 Plus for Android

★★★★★ I have been using this version (6 Plus) for several years now with an OnStar controller for my telescope connected via BT and never had any issues. The app features are fantastic and well-developed, however, I last used this app on 9/3/23 and after the latest update for this package on 9/8/23 to 'fix' a scope connection issue the app has refused to connect with any scope either on BT or Wi-Fi since. I suspect this was deliberate move introduced by Marketing dept to force users to the new V7.
★★★★★ Great! No ads! I use this app to sky align my electron telescope. It shows the best of today's night sky. It gives catalog numbers. With electron telescope I can navigate catalogs and goto desired objects. I like that it gives you a description of the object, so you can learn while observing. It allows you to record your observations. This is really a great app for backyard astronomers.
★★☆☆☆ I have a Electron scope, and have been using Electron Sky Portal (a free version of Sky Safari for Electron mounts), which works very well. But, I wanted to use a Bluetooth connection rather than Wi-Fi, so I shelled out hard-earned cash for SkySafari-6-Plus. Wow. What a difference: The UI is like a puzzle maze compared to Sky Portal, and the app continuously pops up prompts to purchase "add-ons" that nobody wants. Would get a refund if I could. If you have a Electron Telescope, just say No! And stick with Sky Portal.
★★☆☆☆ The star chart is great, very accurate. However, the connection to my scope (Sky Watcher 10996) doesn't work via Wi-Fi. Weirdly the Wi-Fi works with both SynScan Pro and Tellurium Plus. Overall I prefer this app interface but without the telescope control.
