SkyGazer is an easy-to-use planetarium program designed for beginners in astronomy. It is the intro version of SkyVoyager, our professional iPhone astronomy software.

SkyGazer shows you every star the eye can see, plus 220 of the best-known star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies in the sky. It displays all the major planets and moons of the Solar System using NASA spacecraft imagery, and includes a database of several dozen asteroids, comets, and artificial satellites.

SkyGazer accurately shows you the sky from any place on Earth, and any time up to 100 years in the past or future. SkyGazer also includes informative descriptions of the constellations, stars, and planets. It contains hundreds of images from NASA space missions, the Hubble Space Telescope, and from the world''s foremost astro-photographers.

If you have an iPhone 3G S with a compass, SkyGazer can show you the sky in same the direction that you''re holding your phone. You can identify stars and planets by holding your phone next to them, and you can find any object in the sky by following an arrow that points in its direction. (Go to Settings -> Field of View to enable Compass support.)

The brand-new Time Flow feature lets you animate the night sky using simple VCR controls. Follow the motion of the stars and planets as SkyVoyager compresses days, months, and years into a few seconds.

SkyGazer''s simple user interface makes it an invaluable tool for exploring the night sky.

For advanced users, Carina Software also offers SkyVoyager. SkyVoyager contains a much larger database of 312,000 stars and 14,500 deep sky objects. If you have a computer-controlled GoTo telescope, SkyVoyager can your iPhone or iPod''s built-in WiFi to point your telescope in the sky.
