About Sky Atlas

Sky Atlas is not planetarium or simulation software. It is designed analog to a paper atlas for the purpose of looking up sky positions of celestial objects. The electronic form takes advantage of zooming and selection of objects to be displayed or not -- possibilities which are not available to paper. The star chart is plotted on equatorial coordinates. Current horizontal positions, rise & set times, etc. for objects can be viewed after selection of an object of interest. A star chart can be saved to external memory card for documentation purposes, such as websites or blogs.

The use of Sky Atlas is believed to be simple, intuitive and largely self-explanatory, yet requiring basic knowledge of astronomy and familiarity with your Android phone.

Upon selection of an object, its data is shown in a message box, from which to return to selection of another object or choose to center an object on the star chart.

Lots of features and useful info, including a comprehensive set of formulae, very helpful for observing and imaging. On my tablet a few of the calculations didn't work, but a minor thing in view of the great features. Well worth the price. Hope the author will keep improving it.
