Description
SkySafari 6 Plus goes beyond most basic astronomy star map apps by providing you with a full-featured space simulator and telescope control.Note that there is no discount upgrade path from SkySafari 6 Plus to SkySafari 6 Pro. Choose carefully!
Here's what's new in version 6:
1) Clouds and Astronomy. Two words that rarely go together. Rewritten from the ground up, SkySafari 6 Plus 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.
3) We Have The Best Galaxies. The PGC catalog includes galaxies down to 18th magnitude.
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.
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 sky map 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.
For even more features, and a gigantic database aimed at the most dedicated amateur or professional astronomer, check out SkySafari 6 Pro!

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 ★Very informative app especially for a novice like myself !
5 ★Good apps; useful, etc. for observing the sky.
4 ★Perfect tool for viewing stars info
5 ★I love SkySafari 6 Plus. Does what it says. I use mine on an eight inch tablet.
4 ★Could use better user instruction.
3 ★Great for telescope control, using it with a Celestron CPC1100 Edge HD - EXCEPT! The app doesn't offer any control of a motor focus. A big downside if you're looking to control your scope through your wireless from inside the house but then you have to go back outside to adjust focus each time you change targets.
5 ★Good but hard to set up scope
1 ★I can not get this app to control my sky watcher az-gte mount. I am entering correct ip address and it does not connect. So far waste of time end money! I need a fix for this, what is wrong with your app? Or what am I doing wrong? So far refunded and uninstalled.
5 ★Works well guiding my Evolution 9.25 and it has become my goto for visual observation with a couple other telescopes.
4 ★As a very casual user, I would like two things to make this perfect: 1. Allow me to drag time back and forwards, either in a designated screen area or by dragging with three fingers. 2. Allow me to toggle on/off a permanent object info section of the screen, so that I can learn about multiple stars in the sky without faffing. The top line gives a name and some info but I wish to see a picture, and ideally more scrollable info.
5 ★Excellent user experience. I use it to position on DSOs using ZWO ASIAir to control my mount/telescope for imaging purposes. Catalogs are very precise as far as my hands on experience goes. I purchased the Plus version, well worth with the money in my case. I only wish I had purchased the Pro version to get the additional catalogs. It would be nice to have an upgrade option, but I do not believe there is one at this time.
5 ★This was an excellent upgrade from the free app I tried first. I like the look and detail available, and learn from the data. It does have the telescope control feature that could be fun, but doesn't actually connect to my Starseeker IV alt-azimuth mount. That is not big deal and I noticed there were settings for lots of mounts, mostly Celestrons.
