A Review of SkySafari 7 Pro

Or, be an armchair astronomer

If you can’t make it to Wairarapa or New Zealand,  learn astronomy online with us and SLOOH.

Learn from  award-winning photographer Alex Conu

The power of mobile devices means that you can carry around a portable planetarium in your pocket and though it’s not quite the same as a dome, it can give you an immersive experience that helps you find your way around the night sky . In this review of SkySafari 7 Pro we look at what we think is the best mobile app for stargazing . Our starting point for reviewing this app is that we know quite a bit about the night sky already, we can find our way around and find about 100 objects without needing to use a map.

Starting the App

The app opens to a view of the sky at the current time, if it happens to be day time then you get a a view of the sky as if there was no atmosphere. For those who are familiar with previous versions of Sky Safari they will see that version 7 has quite a few different updates to the app and the way that users drive it. One of the first things to do is to set up you location in the settings menu and location tab. You can use your current location (if you have enabled location services for the app) or you can manually set the location you want, either from a list or from a map. If you travel around a bit there’s the option of entering a number of your favourite sites so it’s easy to change them.

The next thing you’ll want to set up is how the sky looks and what extra features you want displayed. There’s pretty everything from constellations, grids, satellites, planets, asteroids etc and they’re all accessed in the setting menu. This new version has really tidied up the screen, which is fantastic. By tapping the time at the top left of the screen you open the menu for time control. There’s a lot of fun with this setting as it’s great to look at the night sky back in history or a few years into the future. Unfortunately it won’t show the proper motion of stars so you can’t go back in time 100,000 years to see what Orion looked like – but you have to keep your expectations realistic.

The Range of Versions

Simulation Curriculum Corp is the developer of the app and they offer three choices for their app. The basic model is simply called SkySafari and will set you back $3.49. The features are basic ones but still very powerful and suitable for what most people would use. You can use it to point directly at the sky by tapping the icon in the upper right of the screen, which puts it in compass mode – as long as you phone is accurate where it points, which mine is not. But if it is, it can help you navigate your way around the sky easily.

The next version up is SkySafari Plus, which sells for $16.99 at the moment. This adds some extra features for connecting to telescopes and connecting to other night sky observers. For the serious amateur astronomer, the next is SkySafari Pro, which will set you you back $89.99. The only difference between that and the plus version is that you get the Gaia star database, the PGC galaxy database and pretty more of everything, more stars, more asteroids, more comets etc etc etc. The extra price of the pro version is not worth it unless you’re a real enthusiast or you have big telescope that can see all of the extra objects. The pro version is a very powerful app for stargazing. It also has a high resolution Moon map which is fantastic you’re into imaging and take close ups of the Moon (from Earth obviously).

Another cool feature of the update in this review of SkySafari 7 Pro is that if you hold your fingers on a star – or object, another menu pops up. One of the icons is a rocket ship and pressing that will fly to app to where the object is. So you can fly to Suhail al Muhlif to see what the sky would look like from there. This is a very cool feature and a great way to explore the solar system and the galaxy.

On the basic version there are descriptions for around 600 objects and these descriptions are very good, with a nice image and detail about the object. By swiping to the left or right you can see further information such as rising and setting times, distance, angular size etc. Their descriptions are great and up to date.

One of the cool features of the app is that you can plan your observing session by building observing lists and recording what you saw. They have a live sky feature where you can share your observations on OneSky. This is an awesome feature where you can see what other people are looking at in real time. It’s great for ideas on what to look at and it’s possible to export what people are looking into your own observing list. Other features include a night mode that makes the display red, this is to preserve your night vision, though it gets ruined if notifications pop up from other apps or your lock screen comes on – if you keep SkySafari the focus it’s all good.

One more feature to glow about in our review of SkySafari 7 Pro is the second button from the left on the main screen called “tonight”. This tells you where the planets are, rising and setting times, details of the Moon and any deep sky objects that are in favourable viewing positions. This is a great feature for an observing session and a good way to learn more objects rather than just sticking to your favourites.

I could go on and on about this app as it’s that good, the best thing to do is give it a go yourself – well worth the $3.49! As a disclaimer we have no commercial arrangement with Simulation Curriculum Corp other than we purchased this app and use it heaps.

Flash sale: SkySafari 7 astronomy app is up to 60% off on app stores

SkySafari 7 stargazing app is as low as $2.99, giving astronomers savings of over 50% on the 'Plus' and 'Pro' versions of the app which is available for iOS and Android.

SkySafari 7, an app that locates millions of planets, stars and constellations at the tap of your screen, is now up to 60% off on different app stores. 

The 60% discount means you can save up to $40 and browse a database of over 100 million stars, three million galaxies and 750 thousand solar system targets. This is the perfect app for anyone interested in the night sky and astronomy, but the sale ends March 4 2023 so you'll have to hurry. 

This deal is a good one, not just because the saving is big but because the app itself is one of the best on the market, in fact, the previous version ( SkySafari 6 which we reviewed ) features on our best stargazing apps guide. Using the database is cool for looking at the night sky but can also enhance your experience if you're already using one of the best telescopes or best binoculars out there. 

SkySafari 7 Pro stargazing app now 60% off .

The saving varies based on which app store you get it from and what version of the app you purchase. However, the 'Pro' is 60% off on the App Store and Google Play while it's over $40 off on the Mac App Store. The 'Plus' version is 50% off and the 'Basic' version is 40% off. 

Note: There's also a one-week free trial of SkySafari Premium. The deal ends on March 4.

There's no getting around the fact the 'Pro' version of the app is the most expensive, but it also comes with the biggest saving and it offers you the most. As mentioned, its database holds over 100 million stars and 750 thousand solar system targets - which is seriously impressive.

We gave the previous version, SkySafari 6 (Pro version), four out of five stars in our full review and we were impressed with the option to create a detailed observing list so that you can come back to your favorite objects time and again. For the uninitiated astronomers, there are helpful audio tours that give insight into popular stars, planets, constellations and more.

• SkySafari 7 Pro: iOS $19.99 / Android $19.99
• SkySafari 7 Plus: iOS $9.99 / Android $9.99
• SkySafari 7 Basic: iOS $2.99 / Android $2.99

SkySafari 7 also offers social stargazing, so you can see what others are looking at in real-time, event finder and notifications for shadow transit, solar eclipses, etc. It also has an improved interface, tilt-to-slew scope control and augmented reality voice control.

Sure, finding the best telescope deals or even the best binoculars deals is worth doing, but if you don't want any additional kit right now or you simply want to enhance your stargazing experience, then getting 60% off SkySafari 7 Pro is definitely worth considering.

Stunning app

It’s rare to find an app this good. I do have a small wish-list. When controlling a telescope it would be nice to have the slew controls positioned on the screen to support single handed control rather than either side of the display. Also from the observing list it would be nice to long press an object and invoke go-to. But minor quibbles aside, magnificent.

Brilliant program if one looks at all the features, but..

There’s no doubt that SkySafari is technically and by its features by far the best astronomy program for the enthusiast but there is the giant elephant in the room: The translations of the object information. It is anybody’s guess what the developers intended when they added the the translations of the object information, enforced the program to use the device’s language instead of English and did not allow to switch the program language back to English. But for sure they did not think about the consequences at all or just did not care. And it is also certain that they had nobody on their team who spoke anything else but English. The German translations of the object information are so poor that it is impossible to understand a single sentence. Almost every sentence is incomprehensible. Look guys. If you add translations to your program and enforce users to use them, then you must do a much better job. Telling people in your support forum to switch the device’s language to English is just appalling. Right now all you get is an F for fail and lack of effort.

Do not buy. The serious bug mentioned below has still not been fixed and has potential to break your kit. Got to say in many ways I love this app. I find it intuitive and fairly easy to use but! There is a serious bug, reported by a number of users, that has not been resolved after many months. If, while using the motion controls, your finger moves on the control touch area the button locks and your scope keeps on going. This can be annoying at the least during alignment and potentially can result the scope crashing into the mount. Support say that it will be fixed in the next release but will not indicate when that release will arrive. Until it does stay clear.

Also, what's the best way to get to the ski resort, or if they have any transport provided. Or is taxis possible, and approximate costs?

Thanks in advance!

> We are just beginners so do not require big long steep slopes

> I would like to know if there are any nearer ones or more accessible ones for us to visit

There's http://snej.com/ - year-round indoor skiing site just beyond the Moscow ring road. But it's not exactly near Red Square and not too convenient with public transit.

There are also very small slopes (mostly for little kids) in Moscow's city parks (like Kolomenskoe).

The nearest slope to Red Square is probably Sparrow Hills - there's a very decent slope from the hill to the river, and it's all in the park. But I don't know how skiing is organised there (if at all) - probably someone who lives nearby might have better information.

I agree with the previous speaker. Sparrow Hills will be the best choice for you.

Kant at Nagornaya is good for a beginner...

> hoping to visit a ski resort. We are just beginners so do not require big long steep slopes. ---

'slopes', so you mean *alpine* skiing of course.

I write this comment, because it may be of interest for you in case you like ski in general and not just the alpine variant.

In all northern Europe, from Norway until very far away at the end of Russia, 'ski' is first what english does name I guess 'cross-country'. For instance here in Norway ski is exactly that: an old mean of transportation turned into leisure and sport and it doesn't require slopes and infrastructure, just the snow on the ground. In winter I put the skis on at my front door and start skiing in the pathway among the houses until the paths in the forest around the corner. That's skiing. For a stroll or more intensive or training. Gliding for speed and fun on slopes equiped with chair-lifts and stuff, it's *alpine*, that's something else. But plain real ski can be done anywhere so long there's enough snow.

When the ground is covered half the year in snow, the old obvious way to transport oneself from the farm of Thor to the farm of Odin is to glide on wooden planks. Well, for native americans the obvious way was instead snowshoes. Wooden planks are really the eurasian stuff. Oldest skis found by archeologs in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia are 3000 to 6000 years old. Long before oligarchs went skiing to Courchevel or Gstaad...

Sokolniki park is the southern end in the city of a bigger forest area: the national park "Moose Island", "Losiny ostrov"

Maybe of interest to you if you are not just an alpine guy.

You'll need snow to start with, and that's not guaranteed at all.

//You'll need snow to start with, and that's not guaranteed at all.

In http://snej.com, that Marassa has mentioned - 100% guarantee :-)

Well, anyway going to Moscow for mountain skiing shows an inventional mind.

Tastes surely differ.

In the US they make man made snow so you can ski if you absolutely must ski in Dec.
