Sky Atlas v1.33 Sky Atlas v1.33Requirements: 1.6 and upOverview: Sky Atlas is not planetarium or simulation software. It is designed analog to a paper atlas for the purpose of looking up sky positions of celestial objects.
The electronic form takes advantage of zooming and selection of objects to be displayed or not -- possibilities which are not available to paper. The star chart is plotted on equatorial coordinates. Current horizontal positions, rise & set times, etc. for objects can be viewed after selection of an object of interest. A star chart can be saved to external memory card for documentation purposes, such as websites or blogs.The use of Sky Atlas is believed to be simple, intuitive and largely self-explanatory, yet requiring basic knowledge of astronomy and familiarity with your Android phone.
Atlas ObjectsOpens a list of object egories. Tap on a egory to view available objects. Upon selection of an object, its data is shown in a message box, from which to return to selection of another object or choose to center an object on the star chart. egories which contain a large of objects are assigned a submenu (tap on screen's menu button) which allow to narrow down by various criteria dependent on the nature of the agory.* Constellations* Named Stars* Nrby Stars* Binary Stars* Variable Stars* Exoplanets* Messier Objects with s* Bright deepsky objects with s* Solar System Planets* Dwarf Planets & Asteroids* Comets* Meteor Showers* Hubble Objects* Kepler Field Overlay* Celestial Poles
