It’s an astronomical encyclopedia with thousands of pictures from NASA, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the world’s best astrophotographers.
But SkySafari 4 Pro isn’t just facts and figures. It’s a powerful sky simulator that lets you travel through time and space.

SkySafari 4 Pro also controls telescopes. It’s been licensed by telescope manufacturers Celestron and Orion to control their latest astronomy hardware, and has an avid user base of tens of thousands of amateur astronomers worldwide.
