About NexStar GPS
Synchronize your current GPS location and local date/time with your WiFi enabled telescope. This application requires a telescope with a GoTo mount compatible with the NexStar protocol.
You must configure the application with the correct IP address and port for your WiFi telescope or add-on device.
See my blog for more information on WiFi enabling a non-wifi telescope using StellarSocks.

Been waiting for somebody smart enough to create an app like this. I'll never ask "is it daylight savings time" again!

It says that the app is not licensed and I need to purchase it from the app store but when I try it takes me back to this same app page

This app makes aligning my telescope a breeze. It used to take me forever to get it aligned but now its done automatically. As a result I use my telescope a whole lot more! The only downside is its heavy on my battery life. Pros still outweigh the cons. Great app!!

Using this app I am able to connect to my telescope successfully. But when I hit "Update GPS" it throws me "GPS Update Error". Not sure what would be the next troubleshooting steps.
