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).
