Title: Star Walk iPhone\iPad Application
Post by: Bromptonboy on March 22, 2011, 03:55:16 PM
I just loaded the coolest application on my iPhone.  It is called 'Star Walk' - and once the app knows your location, you point the phone in certain directions of the sky, and the app shows you a star map of the area to which you are aiming.  It will show constellation, star names, planets, even satellites as they pass by over head. 
Highly recommended and only $2.99

That does sound very cool.  I have no idea, but how well can you see the iPhone screen in the dark?

Pretty well, considering how potent the LED light is.

There are two separate versions, look for the iPhone one on the store Rick, you got the iPad version (hope you didn't buy it by mistake x_x)
