Description
Please Note: SkySafari 7 Pro is now available for devices running Android 10 and higher. Please search for that app instead as this one is now an older version that will be removed from sale in the future.SkySafari 6 Pro will revolutionize your astronomical viewing experience. It has the largest database of any astronomy app, includes every solar system object ever discovered, offers unparalleled accuracy, flawless telescope control, and provides the very best experience under the stars when you depend on it. Discover why SkySafari 6 Pro is the #1 recommended astronomy app for serious amateur astronomers since 2009.
Here's what's new in version 6:
1) Clouds and Astronomy. Two words that rarely go together. SkySafari 6 Pro will (optionally) back up all of your observing data in our secure cloud storage and make it easily accessible to multiple devices as well as from our new web interface, LiveSky.com.
2) We Have The Best Stars. Precise, modern and deep. We’ve updated our star catalog to use the latest and greatest, UCAC5 star catalog. If 25 million stars down to 15th magnitude isn’t enough for you, an easy in-app purchase gets you down to 16.5 magnitude and a whopping 100 million stars!
3) We Have The Best Galaxies. The PGC catalog includes galaxies down to 18th magnitude. Want more galaxies? How about 2.6 million more? An in-app purchase gives you access to the largest galaxy database available for your device.
4) Observers First. A redesign of our tools puts the active observer first. Quick access to features like your equipment, observing sites, lists, and observations make it easy and enjoyable to get out, observe, and record your observations. The observing sessions feature lets you collect your observations into groups that span a few hours, or a few nights.
5) Graph It. The completely new graph tool will give a quick visual representation of an object’s altitude above the horizon. Essential for planning your night’s observations.
6) Plan It. Make the most of your time under the stars. Our updated planner is a powerful tool that lets you create a list of targets for your observing session with filters like object types, specific time ranges, constellation, catalog, and more. Plan it and get more done.
7) Tilt It. Every old astronomy app these days lets your tilt and pan your device to show different parts of the sky, but who else lets you control your telescope that way!? “Tilt to slew” is an optional mode allowing you to keep your eye in the eyepiece, and, using the accelerometers in your device, gently translate the movements of your hands into smooth telescope motion.
8) Share It. SkySafari 6 is more than just a mobile app, it’s a new system to help organize and share your observing experiences. With a free signup, you can see and share your observing data from our web portal, LiveSky.com! Affordable premium memberships add online editing, so you can not only view, but edit your observations, add new observing sites, manage your equipment and more. Finally, you can view, edit and manage your settings files with SkySafari Web, our fully functional web version.
If you haven't used SkySafari 6 Pro before, here's what you can do with it:
• Hold your device up, and SkySafari 6 Pro will find stars, constellations, planets, and more! The star chart updates automatically with your movements for the ultimate stargazing experience.
• Simulate the night sky up to 10,000 years in the past or future! Animate meteor showers, conjunctions, eclipses, and other celestial events.
• Control your telescope, log and plan your observations.
• Night Vision.
• Orbit Mode. Leave the Earth’s surface behind, and fly through our solar system.
• Galaxy View shows the position of deep sky objects in our Milky Way!
• Much more!

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
5 ★Wonderful app. Great learning tool even if you don't have a telescope.
1 ★It will not connect to my SynScan Wifi I tried Scope Type -- SkyWatcher SynScan ip 192.168.4.1 port 11880
1 ★For some reason I can't get it line up. It tell me that im pointing at the ground when the scope is standing straight up
5 ★Fantastic!!!!The best for scope control. With Live Sky its over the top.
3 ★Great app! But will not work if SynScan app is not running too.
4 ★Just bought the app (pro version) a couple of days ago, and so far the app has been awesome. I'm just wondering how I transfer the app onto my other devices. I downloaded the app on my android device and I would like to put it onto my iPad as well. If you could help point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
4 ★So far so good, works great with my telescope mount
3 ★Was originally crashing regularly. I now avoid in-app slew buttons and very few crashes since. But I only gave 3 stars because their help is almost as lame as Microsoft's. Specifically, I haven't found any way to search help. Have never seen this in any app before (and it's really lame). Another problem is there are too many special modes that give no indication how to get out of them. Accidentally touch a button and you're screwed.
5 ★The essential app for astro!
1 ★If I had rated this program last year, I would've given it all 5 stars. The reason I am giving it 1 star is because since January 16th of this year, there has been a glitch or malfunction that has taken place with Sky Safari 6 Pro. Since January 16th, all of the days from the early AD period and BC period have been out of sync (they no longer fall on the accurate days of the week. In addition, all the lunar phases no longer fall on the accurate days of the month anymore). I hope this gets fixed.
4 ★Great for finding planets, stars, constellations, nebulas, gaxies, and other deep space objects. Don't understand why the app is 2.1 GB AND uses 200 MB of data. If the app is so large, it shouldn't need data. This could be a problem in dark sky sites since there usually isn't cell phone reception.
5 ★I've been using Skysafari 6 pro and before that v5, for about 3 years to control my Nexstar / AVX 'scope. I prefer it to some other apps due to the great feature set, intuitive user interface and rich objects database. I had an issue when I upgraded my tablet from android 6 to 10 but the prompt and effective support got it resolved quickly, so I'm giving it 5 stars because it is as good as many PC based equivalents which cost considerably more. David P.S. I have no connection with the company
