Larry, I bought the "Sky-Fi" (Wi-Fi) dongle that connects to the HC on either my C11 or C6, and SkySafari works great with either scope. With an iPad it's a powerful star party tool. http://www.southernstars.com/products/skyfi/index.html Seth -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Larry Holmes Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 12:06 PM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Star Map for iOS. Seth, I have the SS-3 (Pro) also, on my I pad. I have yet to get my Orion bluetooth to communicate with my Nexstar, but am guessing I need a different driver. Also, the hand control is the old style that is not upgradeable, so I might get a new one. Just been putting it off, you know. 73 On 10/26/2012 8:54 AM, Seth Jarvis wrote:
Two points:
1) I downloaded and played around with the Star Map 3D astronomy app mentioned. Hmmm. The UI is not especially friendly but the graphics are pretty. For $2, it's OK but not great.
My collection of astronomy apps for my iPhone and iPad is... let's just say it's extensive.
I still prefer Sky Safari 3 for iOS devices.
