Update history

3 updates tracked
  • v8.1.11mo ago

    This update fixes several issues reported since 8.1.0. BUG FIXES - Fixed your location's longitude changing on its own. Searching for events could leave your observing site at the event's longitude, so the sky was drawn for the wrong place moments after opening. - Fixed Astro Weather showing "Error generating observation text" instead of a forecast summary, and showing metric temperatures and wind speeds to those who prefer imperial units. Weather service problems are now reported as errors rather than as poor observing conditions. - Fixed the Sun still being drawn un-eclipsed after travelling onto an eclipse track without changing the date. - Fixed the on-screen keyboard covering text fields in Account and Planner settings. IMPROVEMENTS - Remote plate-solve status messages are clearer, and are now translated in every supported language. - Sharper textures at extreme zoom, with less per-frame work in the sky chart renderer. Thank you for using SkySafari. Clear skies!

  • v8.1.01mo ago

    NEW: WATCH LIVE ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY WITH SKYCAST See what others are capturing through their telescopes, in real time. - Watch live sessions with SkyCast. Follow another observer's session and see their captured images appear right alongside the sky chart. - Rich image details. Each shared image now shows the target object's information, exposure, and total integration time in a redesigned detail view, with a full-screen viewing mode. IMPROVEMENTS - Added a new "Draw Full Length Lines" option for constellations, giving you more control over how constellation figures are drawn. BUG FIXES - Fixed constellation lines appearing dotted instead of solid after the 8.0.3 update. - Fixed screens flashing white. Object information screens and other freshly-opened views no longer flicker white before appearing. - Fixed satellite and comet data being merged, which caused satellites to plot incorrectly and only appear under "Show Comets." - Fixed Calendar "View" downloads failing silently. SkySafari now alerts you if a linked SkySet or SkyList can't be downloaded. - Fixed Date & Time edits drifting when crossing time zones or daylight-saving boundaries. - Improved planet accuracy with corrected positions for Jupiter's moons and Saturn's moon Titan. - Fixed rendering of imported KML data with long line features. Thank you for using SkySafari. Clear skies!

  • v8.0.26mo ago
