For dedicated astronomers out in the field, however, the best stargazing apps make for an invaluable tool when paired with the best telescopes (opens in new tab) or best binoculars (opens in new tab). You can map and plan from the comfort of your own home or car because the apps use your smartphone's GPS to locate the constellations and deep space objects from wherever you are. SF6-Pro also has a depth of information on objects which I like a lot when just cruising around and for use at public star parties.Using a stargazing app can expose you to the wonders of the night sky in a way that is more accessible and more comprehensible than any other source, and can help you develop a deep understanding of the existence of the cosmos that you can carry with you throughout your lifetime while enhancing your interest in astronomy and astrophotography. SkySafari has a lot of nice features to filter out what you want to see and then GOTO them. I often use the Astro Devices encoder and Nexus DSC equipped GM8 Gemini 1 for visual work in PUSH-TO mode but when I'm using the GM8 Gemini 1 in pure GOTO mode SkySafari 6-PRO and SkyFi-3 are the perfect way to explore and control the scope with my phone. For visual use I like SkySafari 6-PRO via WiFi through the SkyFi-3 WiFi device which is fantastic for Gemini 1 or 2 controllers. For the new imaging setup using an ASIAIR-PRO on scope controller I'm going to use SkySafari 6-PRO because I already own it and it seems to work okay even with the occasional crash which won't affect the ASIAIR-PRO operation. Hi Brian, For laptop based imaging with the usual ASCOM apps I like Stellarium which is now running with direct telescope control for the Gemini, no more StellariumScope needed.
