Description

The popular Windows Phone SkyMap application, downloaded by more than one million users, now comes to Windows 8! SkyMap is an amazing planetarium for your device. It enables you to point your device at the sky and see what stars, constellations, planets or deep space objects are out there in real time.


SkyMap shows the sky in 3D, like you see it at night time exposing a collection of over 110000 stars.


It’s very easy to use for any viewpoint, time and location on Earth: it determines your location automatically, supports pinch to zoom for more details and provides a highly customizable map.


*Free trial available


SkyMap has a full set of features in order to help both casual stargazers and amateur astronomers to explore and locate the objects in the sky.

    Responsive but quirky by Chas

    Unlike many desktop computer star chart programs, this one is simple with fluid fast response even on my aging laptop. However, when using a mouse to navigate, the map motion loses alignment with the mouse when the time is shifted away from the present. It would be a major plus to show the ecliptic as well.

    Magnificent! by Nicholas

    Just as magnificent, fun and informative as on Windows Phone....but easier and bigger....and especially great on a Windows 8 tablet!

    Poor visability by Michele

    Having a free version should entice you to buy the full version, unfortunately this is not the case. Views are distorted.

    Needs Work by Scott

    Horizon line doesn't change after time change. Navigation controls can become completely broken after setting a new date/time.

    Ra / Dec by Gary

    No number designations for TIME / Degrees in RA & DEC. App would have more usefulness if these data were included.

    Bought the meat but didn't get the potatoes. by Unknown

    I hardly ever buy apps like this and I probably have written 5-6 product reviews in my whole life. I thought buying the full version might unlock a more elegant interface. The free version really doesn't offer much and the full version did make it easier to visualize throwing a dollar and change into a black hole.

    Its backwards by Marti

    When I face East it says West on my map. Obviously there is a setting I'm missing, but can't figure out what it is
