ISS?
The ISS (International SpaceStation),completing one orbit around the earth every 92minutes,approximately.This application places the ISS on the map in real time.Calculate the orbit from the current time of device and TLEdata,which obtained www.celestrak.com.Green line is drawn 50 minutes before and after the currentpositionof the ISS.The user's position is marked with an android with the armheldhigh, surrounded by a semi-transparent red circle.The red circle indicates approximately the area where the ISSwouldbe visible by the user. That is, if the ISS is inside thecircle,in theory, you could watch it at the sky. Remember, NEVERLOOKDIRECTLY AT THE SUN!Internet access is used to obtain maps and update once a dayTLEdata. More zoom means more data traffic.From the preferences menu you can enable/disable automatictrackingon the map.The local time Can also be superimposed on the map.Visible Passes.Although you can get to see the ISS for the day is much easiertosee at night, because in the night sky is the secondbrightestobject after the Moon and before of Venus.But to be visible at night must be some circumstances:-The ISS must be illuminated by the sun, ie outside the coneofshadow of the Earth.-The sun must be at least 10 degrees below the horizon or, inotherwords, must have had at least 40 minutes before or must missmorethan 40 minutes to come out.-In its pass, the ISS must rise more than 5 degrees abovethehorizon. Less than 5 degrees is not visible by thedistortiongenerated by the atmosphere.From the main application window, pressing the menu key youcanselect "Visible Pass".From this screen we have the date, time and position of theobserverand a refresh button (circular arrow).Pressing the button proceed to calculate the visible pass forthenext 2 days (changeable in preferences screen).The result is a list of steps visible. Each step consists of:-Day and month.-Initial instant. Time, altitude in degrees, azimuth indegrees(cardinal point equivalent)-Instant of Maximum altitude. Time, altitude in degrees, azimuthindegrees (cardinal point equivalent)-Final instant. Time, altitude in degrees, azimuth indegrees(cardinal point equivalent)Alarms: You can on/off pressing alarm button (top-left icon).3D Locator.The locator uses accelerometer, the compass of the device andthecalculated data to show the position of the ISS on skyfromobserver's position.That is, when we moves the device to the sky shows a red triangleinthe position of the ISS and a green dotted line showing thevisiblepass.It also includes a positioning aid, based vibration:- Hold the device pointing to the horizon, turn on your feet soasto vary only the azimuth (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW). Whentheazimuth differs from the ISS in less than 10 ° there isavibration.- Now vary the altitude, vibration intensifies as it approachestheISS and will be greatest when the red triangle isdisplayed.- You can activate / deactivate the vibration by touchingthescreen.Notes:Altitude: The angle of a celestial object measured upward fromthehorizon of the observer. An object on the horizon has altitude 0°while one directly overhead the observer is 90 °.Azimuth: The direction of celestial object measured alongthedirection of clockwise from the northern horizon of theobserver.An object in the north has azimuth 0 °, east 90 °, south180 ° and270 ° westExtensions:If you like the app you can donate to developer fromExtensionsmenu.Thanks.

Night Sky Tools - Astronomy 2.6.167
Night Sky Tools is the ultimate collectionofastronomical tools perfect for anyone interestedinastronomy.The calculations are of a high enough accuracy for almostallamateur astronomy applications.Due to the fact that astronomy is often best when farfromcivilization where mobile signal may not always bereliable.Therefore, this app is (almost) completely self-containedand doesnot require any internet connection for most of theinformationavailable. The only exceptions to this are the SOHOsolar imagesand NGC/IC, Messier, Caldwell and Binary star imagesand weatherforecast which are loaded dynamically, as well as therefreshing ofsatellite, comet and near-earth asteroid data.Night mode turns the display red for night observationswithouthaving to ruin your night vision.The Sky Map makes use of the direction sensors of the device toshowthe sky above (or below you). Most of the features can betoggled inthe settings. The Sky Map also allows you to turn on thedevice'scamera to see the view behind the device with the skymapsuperimposed over it.The direction sensors of the device may need to be calibrated ifthemap appears to be pointing in the wrong direction. To calibratethedevice's sensors wave the device in a figure-8 pattern. Ifthedirection is still off, then the direction calibration canbeadjusted manually by changing the setting in theSettingsscreen.The observation log, allows you to save observations intheapplications, as well as manage a list of astronomicalequipmentand observing locations. This equipment is also availablefor usein the Telescope Calculator.Most of the data screens have an option to share the data viaemail,or other similar apps able to accept HTML content.The Astronomical Time is also available as a Home screen widget.Touse the widget, the app needs to be installed onto theinternalstorage instead of the SD card, otherwise it will notbeavailable.Some permissions are required for correct functioning oftheapp:Location - used to determine user location throughout the appCamera/Microphone - used to allow camera background in skymap.Themicrophone is never used but this permission is bundledwithcamera.Photos/Media/Files - used to allow proper functioning of thefullscreen images and caching of imagesNetwork access - used to do online searches, and downloadingcomet,asteroid and satellite data, object images andgeocoding.The app is jam-packed with features:- Observe the sky with the skymap, planisphere, auroraforecast,polar finder, weather forecast, daylight map, Moon andMars maps,SOHO images, Jupiter and Saturn's moons, Moon and Suncalendars andwhat's up.- Detailed object information on the planets,constellations,comets, exoplanets, meteor showers, near-earthasteroids,satellites, as well as the full NGCIC, Caldwell, Messier,6thcatalog of Visual Binary Stars by the USNO and General CatalogofVariable Stars catalogs, as well as a SIMBAD search.- Calculate angular separation, atmospheric refraction,magnitude,coordinate conversions, visual limiting magnitude,precession,redshift, and telescope airy disc, f-ratio andmagnification- Astronomical references, glossary, HR diagram andstellarclassification.- Astrophotography tools for exposure time, CCDresolution,Untracked exposure time and optimal f-ratio.- Emphemerides for eclipses, equinoxes, conjunctionsandoppositions, the sun, moon and planets- Observation log- Astronomical timeCaller IDNight Sky Tools has free caller ID. It identifies callers for you-even the ones not in your contact list. Caller ID results areshownafter calls and also allow you to save the contact detailsdirectlyto your address-book. You can disable or adjust caller IDto yourpreferences in the app menu settings or after-call screensettingsat any time.
