SkySafari is a brand new version of the award-winning SkyVoyager app. It is brought to you by Southern Stars, previously the mobile application division of Carina Software.

SkySafari is our "Pro" iPhone astronomy app - if you are a beginner, or looking for something simpler, you might want to check out SkySafari Lite.

SkySafari is a celestial travel guide, designed to help you explore the night sky. It is a powerful planetarium program that fits in your pocket, and puts 300,000 stars, and 30,000 deep sky objects at your fingertips. It renders the planets and moons in detail, using NASA mission imagery. And SkySafari can turn your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch into a 21st-century telescope controller.

SkySafari includes an Expansion Pack with 2.5 million stars, and more than 300 color deep sky object images, dramatically increasing the realism and usefulness of your sky charts. This is an optional $5 in-app purchase, available in the Settings.

SkySafari precisely shows the sky from any location on Earth, at any time in the past or future. It contains informative descriptions of the planets, stars, and constellations; and includes hundreds of images from both NASA and leading astro-photographers.

If you have an iPhone 3G S with a compass, SkySafari can show you the sky in same the direction that you're holding your phone. Shake the phone to activate its compass and/or accelerometer - now you can identify stars and planets by holding your phone next to them! You can find any object in the sky by following an arrow that points in its direction. (Go to Settings -> Coordinates to enable Compass support.)

SkySafari contains interface themes that let you change the look-and-feel of the app, including a "Night Vision" theme that preserves your dark adaption as you're exploring the night sky.

The Time Flow feature lets you animate the night sky using simple VCR controls. Follow the motion of the stars and planets as SkySafari compresses days, months, and years into a few seconds.

If you have a computer-controlled telescope, SkySafari can use your iPhone or iPod's WiFi to point it in the sky. SkySafari's simple user interface, and its ability to wirelessly control your scope, make it an invaluable tool for exploring the heavens.

Southern Stars has licensed SkySafari to Orion Telescopes and Binoculars for separate distribution on the app store under the name StarSeek. Support questions for StarSeek should be sent to Orion Telescopes. Southern Stars will continue to support, maintain, and develop SkySafari in the future.
