About Moon Observer pro
The app shows many data that you need to prepare and perform your observation of the moon. But also for those who are interested in the moon, the app is a rich pool of knowledge.
The app contains a database with more than 6400 formations (crater >= 1 km diameter).
You can save the data of the ephemerides and details of formations during your observation. So you get the exactly data of the moon for this time. You can also save your observation data.
The position of the formation is displayed graphically. Touch the image on the details screen to get formation data.
Data and graphics are adjusted for the southern hemisphere.
