SkyVoyager and SkyGazer 1.3

For the iPhone and iPod Touch


Voyager Box

SkyGazer and SkyVoyager are easy-but-powerful planetarium programs for the iPhone and iPod Touch. SkyGazer is the intro version, designed for beginners, and SkyVoyager is the "Pro" version for advanced users.

SkyGazer shows you every star the eye can see, plus 220 of the best-known star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies in the sky. SkyVoyager contains a much larger database of 300,000 stars and 30,000 deep sky objects. Both versions accurately show you the sky from any location on Earth, at any time up to 100 years in the past or future. Both render the planets and moons in detail, using NASA mission imagery.

If you have an iPhone 3G S with a compass, SkyGazer and SkyVoyager can show you the sky in same the direction that you're holding your phone. You can identify stars and planets by holding your phone next to them, and you can find any object in the sky by following an arrow that points in its direction.

The brand-new Time Flow feature lets you animate the night sky using simple VCR controls. Follow the motion of the stars and planets as SkyVoyager compresses days, months, and years into a few seconds.

SkyVoyager and SkyGazer also include informative, plain-English descriptions of the constellations, planets, moons, stars, and deep sky objects. They contains hundreds of images from NASA space missions, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the world's foremost amateur and professional astro-photographers.

If you have a computer-controlled telescope, SkyVoyager can use the WiFi capabilities built into your iPhone or iPod Touch to point it in the sky. See the WiFi Scope Control page for more details. SkyVoyager's simple user interface, and its ability to wirelessly control your telescope, make it an invaluable tool for exploring the heavens.

SkyVoyager is exclusively available through the iTunes App Store, and runs on the iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3G S, and iPod Touch.

SkyFi Wireless Adapter

For the iPhone, iPod Touch, Mac, or PC


SkyFi is the revolutionary, patent-pending WiFi device that lets you control a GoTo telescope from your iPhone or iPod Touch - wirelessly! It is the only WiFi device on the market specifically designed for telescope control, and works seamlessly with our SkyVoyager iPhone app. It also works with our Voyager software, running on a Mac or PC with built-in WiFi.

SkyFi is very compact - barely larger than an iPhone - and can be easily attached to your telescope's mount or tripod. SkyFi accepts four AA batteries, and has a typical battery life of 8 to 12 hours. SkyFi can also be powered from a car battery or an AC wall socket.

Once powered on, SkyFi creates its own WiFi network. Join this network from your iPhone, iPod Touch, Mac, or PC, and - voila! - you're ready to use SkyFi. SkyFi relays commands from our software, over its WiFi network, to the serial port on your telescope, and vice-versa.

SkyFi includes an adapter for a standard PC serial cable. That means you can use your existing telescope serial cable with SkyFi - you don't need to buy (or build!) another.
