Observer Pro is an indispensable app for advanced astronomy observing and astrophotography planning. No more guessing when that galaxy emerges from behind that tree. No more estimating how many hours youll be able to image an object. Observer Pro gives every astronomer the info they need to make the most of their observing right at their fingertips!

What astronomers are saying:

"Every astronomer with an iPhone should own this app!"
- Astronomy Technology Today magazine

"Observer Pro is the most impressive astronomy app that I have tried out. I enthusiastically commend it to you!"
- Tom Mote, Professor Emeritus, Astronomy

"I have been using it since the day it first became available and I cannot live without it now."
- Sedat B., Cloudy Nights forum

Feature highlights:

• Over 14,000 deep sky objects included, all with closeup reference photos. No need to download anything after install! Sorting and search make it easy to sift through all of them to find which objects belong on your observing list.

• Measure your local horizon profile in minutes with your iPhone.

• Unique charts completely take the guesswork out of predicting object visibility. Your house, trees, mountains, or any other obstructions are completely factored in to all visibility charts.

• New to astronomy? The Featured object list shows a list of objects specific to your location and local horizon that are great for observing right now.

• Keep a list of your favorite observing sites, each with their own local horizon profile. Compare object visibility between sites to find the best spot to setup your scope.

• Theres a lot to observe! Observer Pro gives you a place to maintain a list of your favorite objects as well as an observing list that you can take with you to the eyepiece (red-screen night mode is included).

• 7Timer! astronomical weather forecasts for your observing sites are viewable without leaving Observer Pro. They give you the outlook on cloud cover, seeing, transparency, and more. (The weather screen can also be configured to show your favorite weather URL.)

• Simple and intuitive interface makes all these powerful features readily accessible. You dont need to be a Certified Astro Geek to use it (but if you are, youll appreciate the efficiency)!

• Check out the in-app tutorial (in Settings) to learn more about how to use the many features that come with Observer Pro.
