SkySafari Plus first light report

[m.tweedy]

I have my mount connected to a windows laptop using EQASCOM/EQMOD and control it using sky safari on my ipad wirelessly via WiFi Scope  - Works brilliantly and is free (but does need a local wifi network so no use out and about) and you can align using sky safari too which as a newcomer who doesn't know the sky so well I've found a load easier and quicker than the handset. Working out which star was which - if I could see it where it is etc etc is SO much easier on the ipad. 

This is the reason I love SGL.

Love skysafari but hated not being to use it with EQASCOM.

can it be used with skyfi which creates a local network

i use the pro version with digital setting circles on my dob, along with scoot on sgl. and it is so accurate its hard to believe, and all the features you could want, great app

I have the Pro on my new iPad and love it. So much more intuitive to zoom and pan than using say Stellarium on the Mac with a mouse. So with that and "Tonight's Best" I can plan my evening from the comfort of my armchair.

Just need the SkyFi widget to hook up to the mount and I'll be away.

Now if they added Canon camera control, oh and auto focuser, oh and it made tea.... Seriously, terrific piece of software on the iPad and I don't say that often.

Cheers
