It shows all stars planets and other celestial bodies in the sky you can even search them up and see information about them also if you go to somewhere in 500,00 bc at like 5 am you can go through the years and see the moon crash into earth for some reason
This system has been the bane of my existence! I’ve never been able to get it to work right. One problem leads directly to another! If I could return it I would! What should be a pleasurable hobby and learning experience has resulted in nothing but frustration! Do not buy this system!
Decent app and works to control my telescope, but they are using notifications for advertisements which is bad.
Yet another night foiled by telescope controls that are inconsistently laggy (both on iPhone and iPad) so that alignment becomes an untenable task. Please update the software or control responsiveness.
Do better.
The inaccurate compass feature ruins the app for me.
None of the videos Celestron provides show me how to use this app! I have no idea how I’m supposed to use this to align my telescope. I think the iPhone version of the app I have must be faulty because I don’t have any controls on the screen and I don’t know what I’m doing. Please Celestron, put out an educational video that explains step-by-step how to use this app.
Discovered that the app has a bug where it does not show any Deep Sky Objects (nebulae, galaxies) on the sky chart. I tried every single option in settings to make them visible but nothing works. You can search for them and then it will center them BUT no luck in getting DSOs to show up in charts. I found a review from 2 years ago complaining about the same thing so not a recent issue so guessing Celestron is not planning on fixing it. I bought the wifi adapter for my 6SE to use this app to find and slew my scope to objects in the sky but without seeing DSOs on sky chart that severely limits it. Too bad. Will be returning the wifi adapter.
I was introduced to sky portal when I got a celestron go to telescope a short time ago and it’s become my primary astronomy app since it easy to use, contains a through library of visible objects in the night sky of the northern hemisphere and with the compass mode gives you a rough view of the sky you are looking at in real time, my only recommendations for anyone using this app would be to use it on a iPad or tablet over a smartphone as the arrow keys used to slew a telescope and the crosshairs used to target an object can be tricky to use on the smaller screen. It would be nice if there were more satellites and objects listed maybe that’s what Sky Safari Pro is for and I may upgrade one day but at the moment Sky Portal meets the means for my backyard astronomical observations. App is 4 stars
