## SkySafari 8 Pro Reviews in Australia

### ***** "(Revised review) Good service"
I revised my review because the issue I had presented to the customer service previously appears to be fixed.  Thanks!
-- Quincy679, 2026-01-21

### ***-- "Great app, but v6 was better on MacOS"
Sky Safari provides a great window into the night sky, with good maps of stars, and lots of information that is otherwise hard to find. For outreach work, where having ready info about objects in the night sky is important, Sky Safari was the best tool in the business. The maps were precise and beautifully rendered, and the info was on point and at the ready.
This paradigm has changed with v8. Now it’s an iOS application, and the consequences of that change is that there is much less screen to display anything in. So the information has to compete with the maps; and some of the quiet helps that v6 provided are no longer available.
The new plate solve feature may turn out to be a winner for people with certain types of smart telescopes. 
The moon (lunar) map has a nice improvement in the feature density display.  While the visual aspect of the terminator is not well displayed (shadows near the terminator are very distinctive, and greatly help in identifying features), still the map is one of the better offerings available.
If SkySafari 6 for Mac is still available, and you are running it on a laptop, then you might wish to avail yourself. Version 8 is still good, but has lost some of the delightful slickness that made it the best planetarium program in the world.

### ***** "Astronomy at your fingertips"
Excellent program
-- 100,000lyr, 2025-12-28

### ***-- "Upgrade Failed Plate Solving"
Paid FULL PRICE to Upgraded from 7 Pro for one reason ONLY and that was the promised Plate Solving feature.  Interface and process was ok but failed to solve 9 out of 10 simple .fits, .prn and .jpg images.  All these images solved on ASIAir and Nova Astronomy.net.  TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, maybe the next version will get it right, but without my investment!
