Tap an object on the sky chart to select it. The sky chart shows the location of the stars, planets, and deep sky objects (star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies) as seen from your date, time, and location. The information displayed is highly configurable, and may be changed in the SkySafari Settings views. The sky chart shows an accurate depiction of the sky. Users of SkySafari on iOS can also change the icon order using the Appearance panel in the Settings. The Toolbar can be hidden by tapping the hide/show Toolbar button located above the left side of the Toolbar. A small arrow by the left- or right-most icon indicates there are more items in that direction. Tip: On the iPhone, iPod touch, and Android phones with small screens, you can swipe the Toolbar left or right to access more items. Android users can toggle the Toolbar by tapping the hardware Menu button on their device. These include Search, Object Info, Center, Orbit, Settings, Observe, Time Flow, Compass, Tonight, Night Vision, SkyWeek, Scope Control, LiveSky, Share, and Help. The Toolbar contains buttons to bring up commonly-used functions and other secondary views used by SkySafari. You can still get more detailed information on the object by tapping the "Selection" button in the toolbar and selecting "Object Info", or by double-tapping on the object itself. You can get this information back by tapping the status bar again. These values may be changed using the Settings view.Īfter you tap on an object, the status bar also shows an object's common name, catalog number, magnitude, type, and constellation for a few seconds. The status bar at the top of the screen displays the current date, time and location used by the application to depict the night sky.
You can always change these settings later, using the main Settings view. The first time your run SkySafari, the program will ask if you want to retrieve your current location using the GPS or network location capabilities built into your iOS or Android device. It consists of the Time and Location bar at the top, the main Sky Chart in the middle, and a Toolbar along the bottom. The Sky Chart view is the primary screen of SkySafari.
