NiceI just purchased so still playing with it, but so far very cool. Had to close as it didn't like coming out of sleep on my tablet. Black screen with menu buttons still visible. Not quite a crash. Bit rough coming back from a wiki search, but it did come back. Worth 5 bucks....Acer Iconia 200 rooted

WONDERING WHAT STARA bell chimed so softly. The breeze ran like a trotter, Like some white flock of angels Soaring over the water. The captain beheld on the sea A small light as a guide And he wondered what star Was bourne here on the tide. FROM JAMES MICHAEL CHAPESKIE

Absolutely great app!This is a superb app. Excellent Deep Sky Object images. Not unrealistic Hubble ones, but real life pictures of what you can expect to see on a reasonable diy image. Great app for the money. Great service too. I contacted the developer with a suggestion and he will make it happen! When CCD/FOV elements are added this will be a great app for planning my next imaging run when I am not at my laptop. Well done. Top marks. Buy it, you will not be disappointed. Better than google sky map!

OutstandingFirst blush is that this app is amazing. Especially the see through aspect using the camera mode. I very seldom buy an app without a free version first but this is one of the few I took a chance on and I'm glad I did. Keep up the great work.

Yes, NGCs !!!Very good application, rich with catalogs: Messier, Caldwell and NGC. These cover hundreds of clear sky nights for amateur stargazers. And new features are still going to come, the developer is open to suggestions and answers questions.

@King, You just need to point your phone at the stars to activate it. It doesn't get much simpler.

Absolutely amazing, it is so realistic.This is well worth the purchasing, very easy to use and a beautiful display of the stars. (My only issue is the live mode that tracks the stars cannot be disabled with all monuments of the phone). Defiantly 5*.

Good replacement for Planetarium on Palm but magnitude at currently set time would be a great help. -2 to 5.7 for Mercury is not a big help.

Lionel EIt only worked once and after that it just started to kick me out of the application. It's cool but It's needs to be fixed then I'll give it 5.
