Description

Celestron® SkyPortal™
------------------------------------
Celestron’s newest planetarium app is an astronomy suite that redefines how you experience the night sky. Explore the Solar System, 120,000 stars, over 200 star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, and dozens of asteroids, comets, and satellites—including the ISS. SkyPortal includes everything you need to experience the night sky in an exciting new way. When connected to a compatible Celestron WiFi telescope, you can automatically point the telescope to any object in the database and view it with great detail.

Planetarium Features
-------------------------------------
Simulate the night sky and plan your observing session with a custom list of tonight’s best objects based on your exact time and location. Look ahead to see when Jupiter’s Great Red Spot will be visible, animate transits, eclipses, and other celestial events. View hundreds of photos or listen to more than four hours of audio narration to enhance your stargazing experience.

Simulate the night sky from anywhere on planet Earth, up to 100 years in the past or future.
Compass Mode (with compatible devices): Hold your device up to the sky for a real-time synchronized display of celestial objects – from star names, constellations, planets, to nebulae and galaxies.
Control compatible Celestron WiFi telescopes with sophisticated mount modeling for quick and accurate go-to alignment.
Animate transits, conjunctions, eclipses, and other events with SkyPortal's Time controls.
Explore the sky with Night Vision turned on, and preserve your eyesight after dark.
Learn the history, mythology, and science of the heavens with SkyPortal's hundreds of object descriptions.
Browse hundreds of astronomical photographs and NASA spacecraft images
Access over 4 hours of audio commentary to guide you through the best celestial objects.

Computerized Telescope Control
-------------------------------------------------
Pair your device to your compatible Celestron WiFi telescope, align with Celestron’s patented SkyAlign™ technology, and you’re ready to explore! Identify objects instantly. Tap any object and your telescope automatically centers it in the eyepiece.

SkyPortal’s telescope alignment incorporates advanced mount modeling, providing better pointing accuracy than other telescope systems which rely on a dedicated computer.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

4 ★5/14/2020: This app needs an option to select 24 hour time. If it already has one I couldn't find it. 1/26/2025: Still doesn't support 24 hour time.
1 ★will not connect to my 8se via hgb3 wifi module as a stand-alone app it's a 5 star product but its supposed to connect and control my scope and it fails
5 ★works perfectly every time
2 ★Very problematic app. The functionality is okay. Main problem is getting connected on the wifi. My Pixel 7a struggles to establish a connection. Often, it takes four or five attempts, including both killing and restarting both app and wifi. With my old Motorola Droid Turbo Android from 2017 OTOH, it's bingo connected no problem. So I am not sure if Celestron needs to update their networking implementation or whether the new Androids are too restrictive. So let your conscience be your guide.
5 ★Very good app I uses this app for deep sky and planetary
5 ★I've recently begun using this app in conjunction with my 4" Dobsonian. I simply can't fault it and this WOULD tempt me to purchase a larger Celestron scope in the future (if finances permitted).
5 ★works as it should.
5 ★Nice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
1 ★Terrible, won't connect. I have tried all the self help groups. Only help that worked was use something else.
5 ★Easiest way I've found to control my 8SE.
