Distant Suns: The night sky, reimagined.

2013 finalist in the Family category of TabTimes' best tablet app contest;

"I am putting together some mobile astronomy apps for our local "Sky's the Limit" Observatory in Twentynine Palms, CA. I have been searching for something as good as, or better than, Distant Suns. Short answer: I have not found it yet. ...nothing portrays the night sky as well as Distant Suns.

Distant Suns has been your personal guide to the cosmos since 1985. First on the desktop, now right in your hands. While others play games, you can travel to the stars.

Award-winning Distant Suns has the reputation of both having one of the most realistic displays of the night sky, while being one of the easiest to use astronomy apps for casual sky watchers as well as serious astronomers.

Valoración

Es muy didáctico, y atractivo, fácil de usar. Al principio me resulto un poco complicado la manera de encontrar planetas o constelaciones. Hay algunos detalles que no están como la constelación en un ángulo de Orion y el Joyero en una de las patas de Crux. Pero en definitiva es muy bueno

Todavia es confuso

Aun cuando encuentro esta aplicación de utilidad no creo que sea fácil su manejo. Desde lo mas simple como la molestia del sonido que produce el localizador de objetos como el funcionamiento general, en otras palabras redta difícil entender como navegar y estimo además que tiene muchas imprecisiones. Ejemplo: con la latitud de buenos aires me muestra constelaciones y estrellas que solo se ven desde hemisferio norte.
