What are the best iPad apps?

I use Luminos, its written (and actively developed) by a real enthusiast, and has a lot of great functionallity. Way better than Star walk.

+1 for Sky Safari Plus, StarMapHD and JupiterMoons

try Luminos. Very configurable. Good scope preview function which tries to predict what you are expected to see when you input details of your scopes, EPs, Barlow etc.

Luminos will also control some mounts. Not much use for my dobbo, but worth a mention

...also Observer Pro, which tells you visibility of DSOs based on moon and altitude, location, and even your skyline at different locations, which you enter by doing a slow twirl in your back garden and the ipad/phone registers with accelerometer. Has little thumbnails and is searchable by catalogue designation, transit time etc

+1 Scope Nights and Safari, and quite a few others in the attached screen grab: (Darksky is a nice superimposed Bortle zone on a map, although there is a slight southward shift which you have to take into account)

Clear skies!
