Spaceflight has never been so easy! With SkySafari 3 Plus, you can turn your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch into a 21st-century telescope controller. SkySafari is your celestial travel guide!

SkySafari 3 comes in three versions. Plus adds a hugely expanded database, wired or wireless telescope control - and the ability to fly into orbit around other objects in our Solar System - to our basic version.

What you can do with SkySafari 3 Plus:

• Point and hover your mobile device at the night sky to identify constellations, planets, satellites, stars, and other sky objects from your location.

• Search for any object in the sky, and follow the arrow on screen to find it!

• 2.5 million stars, 31,000 deep sky objects including the entire NGC/IC catalog, 4,000 asteroids, comets, and satellites with updateable orbits.

• Telescope Control – Point your GoTo or “Push-To” telescope anywhere in the sky using your device’s WiFi and our SkyFi or SkyWire!

• Over 800 images from NASA space missions, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the world's foremost astro-photographers.

• Displays the Solar System's major planets and moons using NASA spacecraft imagery.

• “Night” button to preserve your dark adaptation as you're exploring the night sky.
