StarMap 3D Plus

StarMap 3D+ is a complete pocket star atlas. Using the location manager in your iPod Touch or iPhone, StarMap 3D+ will show you the constellations, stars, planets, galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters that are visible from your current location and time. Great for use by beginners or advanced amateur astronomers! If you own an iPhone 3GS, StarMap 3D+ also uses the iPhone's built-in compass to automatically align the map for the direction you are looking. Features include:

* All 88 modern constellations - The constellations are drawn using the outlines from "The Stars: A New Way to See Them" by H.A. Rey
* Constellation artwork that matches the H.A. Rey lines

* Over 41,000 stars to 8th magnitude (every naked-eye visible star plus 30,000 more) - Every star includes information such as distance, spectral class, and absolute magnitude

* Moon and planetary positions from Mercury to Saturn, (with more data coming in future updates)

* Over 6,900 deep-sky objects from the NGC catalog
* 6,170 galaxies to 17th magnitude
* 572 open clusters
* 137 globular clusters
* 81 nebulae
* The deep-sky object data includes object distances, diameters, Hubble classifications for galaxies, and concentration classifications for globular and open clusters

* Great for use with binoculars, a telescope, or naked eye stargazing! Use it as a beginner to find the constellations during a meteor shower, or as an advanced amateur to help identify the distant galaxies in your eyepiece!
