I know this video is 3 years old, but it's new to me in 2024. I recently purchased my first "real" telescope. I can see where apps like Stellarium will really be useful. Thanks for the giving this tutorial in a succinct easy to understand way.
Really useful! Just got my telescope and stellarium plus! Thank you! I do have two questions, though. Is there somewhere I can accurately define my telscope max magnitude? And, can I set Stellarium to show how things would look like in my telescope?
My friend and I downloaded the app just two nights ago and we've been struggling to use it 😅 So, thanks so much for this video....I'm going to send this to my friend right now 😁👍👍👍
It can toggle or look at different times and do a time lapse too. Can . If you look at his screen where it said 21:00 or whatever time it was. Touch or click on that and a bar will show up that looks like the one to adjust magnitude. You can look for instance . Where Jupiter will be at 3am. And you can do a time lapse through several hours and it accounts for the Earth's rotation and let you know where the object will be. Also if you search for an object in the search bar. Say you want to see what galaxies are visible. Type in galaxy and a list will pop up and by each one like Andromeda. It will say not visible till 2 am. Or if it's already visible it will say. Visible until 5 am. All examples btw. Lol. Same with planets . If you want to view Saturn .. search and and it will tell you what time is the best time for you to view it in the sky at your current location!! Kool stuff. I don't have the plus or paid version. I use the free one. I'm here to see if a one time payment of 20 bucks is worth. He doesnt show anything that is different from the free version tho. Your supposed to get detail high quality pictures of planets and DSOs and different stuff. I don't know. I am very pleased with the free version tbh.
@@drkumarharaprasadmisra5562 : Access the menu, tap Instruments, tap Oculars, enable the feature, go to the Shape menu and choose Camera, get set the width and height and rotation with the sliders. I'm assuming your know your camera frame size in angular measure for your optical train.

my Stellarium is not showing the correct sky locations for anything. It has everything moved to the left about 10 degrees and down. Kind of defeats its purpose. Do you know of a fix for this?

When you open up Oculars is there a selection for cameras also, like a sub menu for sensors? This is how I get my field of views in the desktop version.
Excellent review! This app looks amazing. Is there a way to get in touch with you? I've been surviving with a 4'' refractor from the 1940's 😂 and would appreciate your advice if you have a sec.

I'm so glad it was helpful!
Yours is the only helpful video on stellarium mobile. Thanks
Good review. I suggest you use only a small inset for your image and the larger part of the screen for the actual Stellarium screen.
Thanks Forest. I can now use Stellarium, and it is a very helpful tool. Thanks for mentioning this video in class.
Nice! Showed exactly the features I was wondering about
Glad to hear it!
Who's here for the GREAT CONJUNCTION !!!!!!
MEEEEEEE😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@kuarifu bro, that GREAT CONJUGATION happened a month ago. How can you say that now. That's lame.

Does it give you a preview of the direction the stars/milkyway will move throughout the night?
Yes!
Very helpful, thank you! Would you leave the Limit Magnitude off if you are only visual/viewing rather than attempting astrophotography?
Yep! I sure would!
@@FoFoAstro Thank you!
The calibration was very hard for me to figure out thank you
Very good, now how do i use compass, because my stellarium app cannot calibrate compass..
Interesting. I’m not sure. I’ll look into that and make a video about it.
@@FoFoAstro that would be nice because i cannot track no object
You can get the frame if you go into Oculars.
How to set the camera width and height?

@@blakenancarrow5239 Thank you so much.
I'd manually set the time to utc offset. Many states have different time zones, and some Pueblo don't use daylight savings time.
Great point!
Nice one 👌🔭
Thanks 🔥
Great video. Do you know how to connect the Gemini 2 to Stellarium Mobile Plus?
Thanks! I don't, but I'll give it a try next time I'm out at my observatory and make a video if I can get it working.
my Stellarium is not showing the correct sky locations for anything. It has everything moved to the left about 10 degrees and down. Kind of defeats its purpose. Do you know of a fix for this?
Hmmm. Check your location and the time of day. If both are set correctly, then I have no idea why it's not showing the correct locations.
Are you using a third party case? Try using it without the case
How i create a star map i want understand
very clear and to the point.
Thanks!

Do i need to re pay if i delete the app plz answer ?
Nope, you should be able to download it again for free. No promises though!
Why my stellarium plus does'nt show me the satellites ?
Hmmm. I'm not sure. Honestly I've never used it to look for satellites.
How can I find milky way location?
You are in milky way
how to locate stars by month using stellarium
that very helpful tool I so I have tablet and i will buy one for FULL version.
Awesome!
What's diffrance with full version and normal version?
I've used the Stellarium Plus App for years and don't own a telescope.
Sweet!

I love that

You're welcome!
Can I see the sky without even pointing my phone towards the sky
Yea
😮

iOS version is not free and cost way too expensive
It is expensive, but I would say it's worth it!
Your beard 🤣🤣
I can create one star map who can teach me
Not sure what you mean?
@@FoFoAstro how build a astronomy app
@@alexandnaser4931 I unfortunately have no idea how to go about that!
Why not show full screen of the app with only your voice. Pretty irritating review. Maybe for next time a good tip.
Sorry you feel that way. Tough to make a vertical app full screen on a horizontal video.
@@FoFoAstro not ment negative, probably had a bad day thanks for the review!
