iphone/ipad users - SkySafari discounted

[jam1e1]

Copy and pasted from email this morning - bought this a while ago and well worth it!

Southern Stars is supporting AWB with a two-week sale on SkySafari 3 for iOS, from November 24th thru December 8th, 2011. During the sale, 40% of the proceeds will be donated to AWB

SkySafari 3 - $0.99 (regularly $2.99), 50 MB. 120K stars, no telescope control.

The basic version of SkySafari 3 shows you 120,000 stars, plus 220 of the best-known star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies in the sky. It displays the Solar System's major planets and moons using NASA spacecraft imagery, and includes the best-known 20 asteroids and comets.

SkySafari 3 Plus - $11.99 (regularly $14.99), 181 MB, 2.5M stars, telescope control.

SkySafari 3 Plus adds a hugely expanded database - and wired or wireless telescope control - to our basic version. It shows you 2.5 million stars, and 31,000 deep sky objects - including the entire NGC/IC catalog. It includes over 4,000 asteroids, comets, and satellites with updateable orbits. And it can point your GoTo or "Push-To" telescope anywhere in the sky, using your iPhone/iPad/iPod's built-in WiFi, and our SkyFi or SkyWire serial accessories.

SkySafari 3 Pro - $29.99 (regularly $59.99), 418 MB, 15M stars, telescope control.

SkySafari 3 Pro has the largest database of any mobile astronomy app, period. It contains everything in SkySafari 3 Plus - but also includes over 15.3 million stars from the Hubble Guide Star catalog, plus 740,000 galaxies down to 18th magnitude, and over 550,000 solar system objects - including every comet and asteroid ever discovered. Yet it runs just as fast and smoothly as our $3 basic version.

I use SkySafari 3 Plus with my iPad linked to my Nexstar 6SE and find it works really well.
