SkySafari 5 Pro v5.3.0.0
Requirements: 4.0+
Overview: SkySafari 5 Pro is the ultimate astronomy app. It has the largest database of any astronomy app, includes every solar system object ever discovered and offers flawless telescope control.






Here's what's new in this version:
1) Complete rewrite of the compass code, for smoother and more accurate sky tracking!

2) Tonight at a Glance: the Sun, Moon, Planets, ISS, and Iridium flares in one handy view!

3) Notifications when the ISS will pass overhead, when Iridium satellites flare, and more!

4) Completely new sounds, and a new look to the sky and horizon. Better transitions between portrait and landscape mode.

5) OpenGL boost! New 3D models of the ISS, HST, Phobos, Deimos, Ceres, Vesta, and other solar system objects and spacecraft. City lights on Earth's night side. Improved higher-res Mars map.

6) Object lists in the Search menu now show thumbnail images. New options in Advanced Search.

7) Updated object descriptions, with images in-line! Every object now has a description!

Reworked Time Flow controls. Set the date and time directly from the main toolbar. Run time 1000 x faster than reality!

9) Google Drive sync for your settings and observing lists! Change them on one device, and synchronize your changes across all your Android and iOS devices!

10) An on-line repository of observing lists from experienced amateur astronomers. A "tour mode" that guides you through objects in each list!

11) An improved deep sky database with Abell and Hickson galaxy clusters, and globular clusters in M 31.

12) Galaxy View shows the position of deep sky objects in our Milky Way!

13) A handy Digitized Sky Survey viewer that lets you download images from the DSS!

14) Improved multi-star alignment for telescopes with digital setting circles. Add Barlows and Focal Reducers to your equipment list!

If you haven't used SkySafari Pro before, here's what you can do with it.

• Hold your device up, and SkySafari 5 Pro will find stars, constellations, planets, and more! The star chart updates automatically with your movements for the ultimate stargazing experience.

• Simulate the night sky up to 10,000 years in the past or future! Animate meteor showers, conjunctions, eclipses, and other celestial events with Time Flow.

• Search from our extensive database, and follow the arrow to objects in the sky. See spectacular views of Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and other planets!

• Learn the history, mythology, and science of astronomy! Browse over 1500 object descriptions and astronomical images. Explore NASA space missions! Stay up-to-date with SkyWeek for all major sky events every day!

• Control your telescope! SkySafari 5 Pro adds wired or wireless control for Celestron, Meade, Orion, SkyWatcher, and many other telescopes. Point your GoTo or “Push-To” telescope anywhere in the sky! Requires SkyFi or SkyWire accessories (sold separately).

• Plan observing sessions with Observing Lists, log your observations, and share with friends!

All this is built into SkySafari 5 Pro – no need for an Internet connection. SkySafari 5 Pro will revolutionize your astronomical viewing experience and replace desktop astronomy software costing 10 times more.

Additional Features:

• 25 million stars from both Hubble Guide Star catalogs; 740,000 galaxies down to the 18th magnitude; over 630,000 solar system objects; and satellites like the International Space Station (ISS).

• Animated meteor showers with complete viewing information.

• Night Vision – Preserve your eyesight after dark.

• Advanced Search – Find objects using properties other than their name. Results are sortable by name, number, magnitude, RA, and more!

• Orbit Mode – Leave the Earth’s surface behind, and fly through our solar system.

• Google Maps Integration – Choose your location from a built-in Maps view.

• Horizon Panoramas – choose from 21 hi-res vistas, or customize your own!

Thanks for the link. Can't imagine downloading 1,7GB using dailyupload, perhaps will take 2 days to finish

Does each revision change require a new OBB file?
The app is great, but the frequent updates make the installation really painful.
I think this astro app can even run on my AN1 smartphone watch - incredible..

Not every update, but this one for sure.

And yeah, it would be helpful, if that info about obb is here too.

the data url can be found from the program version. this part of the url does not change

Code: Select allhttps://s3.amazonaws.com/SkySafari_Android_Data/

using the version number of the base program you can edit this part of the url

main.5300.com.simulationcurriculum.skysafari5pro.obb

and it would probably work. so in theory if they came out with version 5.4.0.0 and the data changed, this would be the url

https://s3.amazonaws.com/SkySafari_Android_Data/main.5400.com.simulationcurriculum.skysafari5pro.obb

if they came out with 5.5.0.0 at a later date and with a new data cache, this would be the url

Yeah - I know that "trick". Because I also downloaded OBB file from that link myself (before you posted it).
Download was available on their website under Safari 4 section, but there are some changes now and that particular thread is there no more.

I meant this note about info (OBB) mainly for uploader - put it here, when he upload app.
But certainly thanks anyway.
EDIT
original thread on Safari web is active again (tested 28.03.2017) http://skysafariastronomy.com/products/skysafari_android/data.html
But filename must be "updated" for version that user want to download.

its good to have it up just in case some do not know how to get the file directly. but yes, it would be great if uploaders would include direct links such as this one when possible.
