@@CountryCampers SkySafari or Starry Night? SkySafari is handled by the app store and should have record of your previous purchase and allow re-download.
As a SkySafari 6 pro user, Considering I have already paid for the extra databases, it is disappointing to learn that I am effectively asked to pay for them yet again. Apart from compatibility with newer operating systems, I see no real benefit. Can’t say I’m impressed.
Hi Brian. The PGC, GAIA and HR diagram are free in version 7. There was an issue with Apple and the GAIA and PGC free downloads are not appearing in the Settings-In-app Downloads section. This should be corrected in the next app update which is in review by Apple right now - likely available on Monday or Tuesday. Thank you for your support!
I watched the video and this update is a “no brainer”. A ton of value for the price and well worth it - loved all of the enhancements to make my planning and astrophotography evenings awesome. EAA is really cool with SS7 and a fast scope like RASA or Hyperstar, great job with this new version! Only request is that you create a mosaic feature or plug-in like that in telescopious. I would readily pay extra for this feature
Works great with my Skywatcher AZ GTi mount.
1. The AR implementation needs to be improved. Users should be able to point their phones to the sky and it needs to “exactly” identify the sun and moon which are the brightest in the sky and use location data to position/plate solve and align the stars. 2. Quick highlight and access to favorites. User should tap on this and all or top 5 favorites need to be highlighted in the sky. 3. One sky is of no use. 4. Skycast can be vastly improved and made more interactive with slight phone vibrations. 5. Satellite tracking would be a good addition. Where specific satellites can be selected and tracked and NOT the thousands that overcrowd the screen at once.... any one would pay $40 or more for an app like that. Not this subpar upgrade we got from the 6 Pro.
Hello Starboy, thank you for the feedback. We value your input on feature requests. If you would like to contribute please help us by sharing your feature requests at: support.simulationcurriculum.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/201239307-SkySafari-Feature-Requests
I'm looking forward to release the windows pc Ver :)
6 pro owners should get 7 pro version for free…
Don’t agree on been 100% free, but having to pay a small amount to upgrade.
If you want quality software, without ads and poor user experiences, paying for updates provides developers the funds they need to keep supporting the apps. Software development is time-consuming, and there is far more that goes into it than what may seem.
Hi, I would like to know if there is an easy way for me to control my Celestron AVX mount using my Mac computer. I am currently controlling it using a PC connected to the mount with a powered USB cable, but would like to go Mac, and get away from the Celestron program. Thanks for any suggestions. I have the older version of this product and plan on upgrading.
Was the celestron focus adjust motor bug fixed in this version?
I love using SkySafari 7 Pro to control my Celestron Edge HD 8... one problem I have is - many of the locations I observe from have significant obstructions. I would love it if SkySafari allowed me to use my camera to create location specific *obstruction profiles* that I could then overlay in the main sky map... this would help my observing SO MUCH. As it is now I have to guess whether or not any given object will be visible or hidden behind a tree or a building. Anyway - please add obstruction profiles to SkySafari! Thanks!
I have a much older version. I love it, but the sound is missing??
I think it would be really nice if Sky Safari included the Allsky CCD Mosaic.
Ayooo Skysafari 7 is good already bought it, one issue please improve AR and app will be excellent! My Rate: 10/10
I have just watched your TH-cam demo. It looks impressive, but do you have a version for us in the southern hemisphere?
SkySafari works everywhere!
Can we please fimally have support for Explore Scientific mounts such as the EXOS II
I’m new to astronomy. I got myself set up with a Celestron Nexstar 6SE and purchased the WiFi skyq module. Will this app be compatible and control my telescope?
I have both and can connect to Skysafari Pro 7. But the app only allows 3-star alignment which I would like to see more alignment options being introduced such as 1-star, 2-star or solar system alignment.
Hello sir, could this apps be simulating what the sky looks like in the past such as 2000 years ago at any location on the earth?
Thanks in advance .
Yes, they are able to
Simulate the past and future.
Hello I’m trying to use Sky Safari with my new Ioptron Sky Hunter. I cannot get the proper pre set . I have a Red Cat 51 and using my canon R5 can you please help me ?
Please post your technical support inquiries in our community forums and someone will be in touch soon: support.simulationcurriculum.com/hc/en-us/community/topics
Please fix the FOV Indicators so they take on the orientation of the sky. You used to be able to choose whether an indicator was drawn alt-az or equatorial (they are now only alt-az) but you took that away some versions ago. Give it back to us and more, as it would also be useful to have FOV Indicators in Galactic or Ecliptic orientation to help plan photo framing. Being able to turn a FOV Indicator isn’t enough, as you have to keep adjusting the rotation as you move around the sky or advance time. We don’t need all these new features. We need the old features to work.
Thank you Alan. I sent you an email to follow up in more detail. My understanding is that currently, an FOV Indicator always points to the Zenith (Alt Az), regardless of which coordinate system you have selected in the Coordinates popup (toggled by tapping the left side of the status bar). This has indeed been the behaviour in v6 and now in v7. I'm assuming the expectation is that the FOV indicator should point to the pole of the selected coordinate system. We'll take a look. We're also working on some new features in this area, including adding rotation handles to non-circular FOV's to make it easier to frame an object in the sky chart. Regards.
Alan, if you would like to add this to the feature requests or have any others you would like to include, the best place to ensure that it is included in future updates is through the following forum:

@@DeusExMamiya I was stating how it currently worked, not that I agreed with it. Which is why in the upcoming 7.0.2 update we've updated the FOV indicator feature. As a tip, if you have a feature suggestion or want to report an issue - just ask.
Would like to have the possibility to adjust personal horizon at my home location to meet trees or houses obstructions and stop guessing what is visible tonight at home Thanks

Great idea!
I have that for TheSkyX Pro from Software Bisque, but I want something a little simpler for quick observations etc. I am disappointed that the windows environment is pretty much ignored in this day and age.
I'm having trouble with my telescope going away from the object i selected and cant figure how what's wrong plus I noticed that I don't have a window that asked if my telescope is oriented correctly
To clarify, which telescope mount are you using? When you say the telescope is going away from the object, is this after a go-to?

5% new features, 100% new price. Even though this is on sale right now I’m struggling to figure out why I should pay almost the same as I originally did AGAIN for very few new features. Can anyone help me?
Hi Neil, the description for this video includes the major highlights of the initial 7.0 release. Much more will be coming over the next few months and beyond. ALPACA & INDI support was a major endeavour, but even if you don't use telescope control, I hope you find some of the other features, such as the Events Finder, Tonight panel or OneSky useful. Unfortunately we do have to release an upgrade every few years (v6 was released nearly 4 years ago) to introduce new features, ideas, and keep the lights on.
Hello Neil, if you have any specific feature requests we would love to have your input. The best way to contribute is at: support.simulationcurriculum.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/201239307-SkySafari-Feature-Requests
@@pedrobraganca1798 Hi. Thanks for the personal response, which I appreciate. Your new features are what drive new revenue, so your choice of what new features you add is of critical importance to “keeping the lights on”. I’m having a hard time understanding how the new non-telescope features are better than what we had before. It feels right now like you’ve slightly changed the cosmetics of what existed already and want me to pay again for that. Reading the “new features” text sounds like marketing waffle. I’m looking for concrete examples of why the new features are better than what we already had, be that a video (this video?) or a document. Can you help?
Can SkySafari 7 plus control my Meade lx90 GPS telescope?
Did you ever find out? I have the same telescope.
Yes!
Q; Hello, will SkySafari 7 pro have a French translation for this year?
Yes!

La aplicación no muestra el seguimiento del telescopio en pantalla, no sirve si no tienes una referencia.
The application is capable of connecting to a telescope and slews and moves along with targets. You must make a connection with the telescope first in order for this function to work.
Thinking about upgrading, but can't get any one at the developer to answer what the difference is between Pro 7 and "Premium".....I have the older basic version on iPhone and it tells me to upgrade to premium for $19.99 annual subscription, but their website offers Pro 7 for $29.99...........which is a better option?
Sorry for any confusion. I believe your app was upgraded free of charge from the old v6 code base to v7 recently. You can upgrade to Pro 7 or subscribe to Premium within any v7 app.
The biggest difference between Basic and Plus/Pro versions is telescope control and larger object databases. The Premium subscription inside the v7 apps provide you with ongoing curated content on the best observing events each month (guides, articles, photos, tips/tricks, prepared simulations of events that load in your app, etc.) as well as access to all of the features at LiveSky.com. There are several other enhanced features and future development/content planned for Premium subscribers.
If you do subscribe to Premium in V7 and then want to upgrade to a more complete version of SkySafari, you can with the subscription carrying over to the new app. Just make sure you have signed into LiveSky within the app to sync the permissions with our servers.
Thanks, now it makes more sense. If I may, have an issue I don't understand..............I purchased the Pro 7, installed on both iPhone and iPad. However, Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) only shows up on the iPhone, cannot get it to show on the iPad..........is there a setting I am missing?
@@billmeador215 Please try Settings -> Solar System and scroll to the bottom to update data.
Found it, thanks..................
Where are the scope controls ? Where? Under settings, presets, you can set up the connection, ( I did) but no scope controls. Where are they. V6 better
Please post your technical support inquiries in our community forums and someone will be in touch soon: support.simulationcurriculum.com/hc/en-us/community/topics
Great informational video and SkySafari 7 Pro looks VERY user friendly. :)
pc version ?
macOS is a few months away but you can always use LiveSky.com in a browser on PC.
One thing that fails is that the surface of the earth does not appear
You can change the appearance in Menu -> Settings -> Display Options -> Horizon & Sky
Se encuentra disponible en Español?
Si!
quickly release
Make sure to check out SkySafari Premium within the V7 apps! Tap the Tonight button or visit Menu -> Settings -> Subscription.
Why he's wobbling his head right and left in every word he says? And not closing your eyes is tooooo creepy.
Be nice
@@EquipmentReviewer to be fair, it's lazy reading from a prompt when it would have been more professional to learn lines and have a few more graphics
Haha I was thinking the same! Gives the hobby a bad name, I thought. How can astronomers expect to get laid if women think we're all like this?
Totally agree, it's very disturbing. My first impression was that it was some kind of deepfake simulation, what with the incessant bobbing and blank stare. I probably should be sympathetic, however, as it could simply be the Tourette's...

I've supported sky safari for years but now I'm fed up. Its become a money hungry, nagging racket.
Thanks for your support! We release a new version of SkySafari every few years based on user feedback and requests for new development. We have always released three versions: basic, plus and pro to best accommodate needs for different price points. Basic has never been more than $4.99 USD and has often been cheaper or free for extended periods. We upgraded V6 iOS basic users to V7 free of charge. V6 basic is still free on Android.
You can choose to spend as little as $2.99 USD to have the latest and greatest version of the app right now. The most you could really ever spend on SkySafari traditionally in a given 2 or 3 year span was about $50 - $60.
With the added optional subscription to curated content, data streaming/storage services, etc. the average support one can provide to SkySafari if they opt into all offerings is perhaps twice that amount, again over a 2-3 year period. In an industry that has seen already high costs for telescopes, accessories, etc. go markedly higher, we feel SkySafari offers an excellent value proposition for beginners and professional observers.
