The logical comparison with Stellarium would be Cartes du Ciel, another freeware Windows/Linux planetarium program.Asteroids routinely pass near Earth, but most range from several to a few dozen meters across and appear faint. It's designed around the smart phone/tablet interface and it does things a desktop or laptop simply cannot do. I have it right there in my pocket whenever I am observing. It does seem odd to compare these two programs, SkySafari runs on my smart phone and tablet. Deep data bases of stars and galaxies, useful for star hopping with larger aperture scopes. It has a compass mode that aligns the chart with the sky. The objects on the observing list can be circles so one can work directly off the chart. It's computes the orbits as during the search. For example, one can search for binary stars brighter than magnitude 7 with separations between 1.1" and 10" in Bootes. Search: Sky Safari has extensive search functions that can be easily turned into observing lists.
Double stars: Sky Safari computes the orbits of short period binaries providing current separations and PAs. I don't know if Stellarium has these features: Well done !Ī few things I find useful in Sky Safari. Each bookmarks has its own 'ssystem.ini' beside the default one.īut, in general, Stellarium is a really nice app and use it frequently. That is all.Īnd about saving the settings in bookmarks: I thought I was clear by adding options in the bookmarks. Bookmarks) cannot be found in the GUI but can only be accessed by a keyboard shortcut. But What I mean with 'limited' is that some commands (e.g. I would have realized somehow the need to the Bookmarks tool the ability to save few specific setting, but the creation of a manager to selectively control more than 250 settings requires something more substantial than the banal "I just want it."I don't talk about 'bad GUI', but 'limited GUI' The bar on the bottom is nice, as are the five buttons on the left. When I asked you about use cases, where tool to create profiles is needed, then no intelligible response was received. Very surprise for me is opinion about bad GUI in Stellarium also. And a planetarium app is a planetarium app, regardless of operating system. Bookmarks are limited as these caqn, unlike SS, not be saved with custom settings.Ĭomparison of desktop and tablet planetariums is very strange for me.The reason is that the tablet version of Stellarium is very limited, compared to the desktop version.
Stellarium lacks a nice menu (except the limited one on the bottom of the screen) but is dependant on keyboard letter commands. Useful for how long a star or planet will be visible within a year. + Heliacal, cosmic and acronical rises and sets. + Scripting, which allows animation and displaying ranges of phenomenas 'Fast' moving stars like Arcturus will be displaced several degrees after such an era. + Whwn time traveling for thousands of years, the proper motion of stars is taken into account. The sky colors are very realistic, much more than in Skysafari. The day sky color is a kind of pale greenish-blue. The Moon is displayed very dark gray and way too large (the Sun as well) even when Moon magnification factor is set to 1 (one). Skysafari displays Mercury, Mars and Saturn as an unrealistic fully saturated orange, red or yellow and the Sun is also displayed hard yellow.
+ Several 'skies' can be saved with each with its own settings + More objects in catalog, both solar system and deepsky / stars * enabling and disabling constellation figures, labels, star labels, horizontal or equatorial coordinates * Can be used as a star chart while observing. * Nice horizon panoramas, including own made.
#Stellarium o skysafari plus pro#
* extensive object database, nice star charts and rendering, are very fast and responsive even on my not-so-new devices (Macbook Pro 2011 for Stellarium, Sony Xperia Z Ultra (2013) and iPad Air 2 (2012 ?) for Skysafari ).

Tested: Stellarium 0.15.1 on macOS El Capitan vs SkySafari Pro 5.0.1.0 on Android 4.4.4 (and iOS 9.3, behaves the same).
