Finally!

I have owned this app on my Palm TX for years! I heard rumor that it was being developed for the iPhone, and now here it is! I can finally retire my Palm OS device (R.I.P.)

I dont have a fancy robotic scope yet, perhaps one day. I look forward to seeing how this app and competing products like Star Map HD progress and the Orion app in those regards.

A few things I would like to see added are more tools for astrophotographers, better timers and exposure and lens calculations, and suggestions based on targets. Also, I miss being able to navigate the sky using the built in compass. Something this app is sorely missing compared to other apps. It should be taking full advantage of the Apple hardware.

I have always had a beef with the multitude of icons and settings on the screens as well. I think these need to be more refined, as well as the interface. The page turns annoy me something fierce as is having to always try to figure out how to navigate back screens.

I do like the fact that I can use the App on my iPhone and iPad without having to buy different HD versions though.

PS - Again, the timers for astrophograhers here are useless without audible tones in increments, or before an exposure is about to end. Also, simply displaying a tiny timer in the top right corner when you have the full resolution of the iPad screen. Yah, this can be done better.
