SkEye Editor's review

SkEye aims to be an advanced planetarium that can also be used as a PUSHTO guide for telescopes.The handheld-mode is similar to Google SkyMap. You can explore stars, constellations and deep sky objects from the Messier and NGC catalogs.When switched to indirect-mode it doubles as a PUSHTO guide for telescopes. The PUSHTO system uses the phone's sensors alone. All you need to do is strap the phone onto the telescope's OTA. _______________ Ensure that you calibrate the magnetic sensors by waving the phone in a figure-8 motion of your hands. If using with a telescope, read:Tutorial http://lavadip.com/media/SkEyeIntro.pdfIdeas for mounting phone http://goo.gl/Qp3iZDevice whitelist http://skeye.wikispaces.com/________________ Other features: Real time Alt-Azimuth and Equatorial coordinates Messier objects mini-NGC catalog (subset of ~180 bright objects) Night Mode Search, with a guiding arrow Alt-azimuth, Equatorial grid For detailed queries:Google Market doesn't allow replying to comments.
