Using Stellarium PLUS (Mobile) - Star Map on iOS and Android! 

I know this video is 3 years old, but it's new to me in 2024. I recently purchased my first "real" telescope. I can see where apps like Stellarium will really be useful. Thanks for the giving this tutorial in a succinct easy to understand way.

Good review. I suggest you use only a small inset for your image and the larger part of the screen for the actual Stellarium screen.

Who's here for the GREAT CONJUNCTION !!!!!!

Yours is the only helpful video on stellarium mobile. Thanks

Thanks Forest. I can now use Stellarium, and it is a very helpful tool. Thanks for mentioning this video in class.

My friend and I downloaded the app just two nights ago and we've been struggling to use it 😅 So, thanks so much for this video....I'm going to send this to my friend right now 😁👍👍👍

Nice! Showed exactly the features I was wondering about

The calibration was very hard for me to figure out thank you

I'd manually set the time to utc offset. Many states have different time zones, and some Pueblo don't use daylight savings time.

Does it give you a preview of the direction the stars/milkyway will move throughout the night?

It can toggle or look at different times and do a time lapse too. Can . If you look at his screen where it said 21:00 or whatever time it was. Touch or click on that and a bar will show up that looks like the one to adjust magnitude. You can look for instance . Where Jupiter will be at 3am. And you can do a time lapse through several hours and it accounts for the Earth's rotation and let you know where the object will be. Also if you search for an object in the search bar. Say you want to see what galaxies are visible. Type in galaxy and a list will pop up and by each one like Andromeda. It will say not visible till 2 am. Or if it's already visible it will say. Visible until 5 am. All examples btw. Lol. Same with planets . If you want to view Saturn .. search and and it will tell you what time is the best time for you to view it in the sky at your current location!! Kool stuff. I don't have the plus or paid version. I use the free one. I'm here to see if a one time payment of 20 bucks is worth. He doesnt show anything that is different from the free version tho. Your supposed to get detail high quality pictures of planets and DSOs and different stuff. I don't know. I am very pleased with the free version tbh.

You can get the frame if you go into Oculars.

Very helpful, thank you! Would you leave the Limit Magnitude off if you are only visual/viewing rather than attempting astrophotography?

very clear and to the point.

Very good, now how do i use compass, because my stellarium app cannot calibrate compass..

How i create a star map i want understand

how to locate stars by month using stellarium

Nice one 👌🔭

How can I find milky way location?

Why my stellarium plus does'nt show me the satellites ?

Great video. Do you know how to connect the Gemini 2 to Stellarium Mobile Plus?

my Stellarium is not showing the correct sky locations for anything. It has everything moved to the left about 10 degrees and down. Kind of defeats its purpose. Do you know of a fix for this?

When you open up Oculars is there a selection for cameras also, like a sub menu for sensors? This is how I get my field of views in the desktop version.

that very helpful tool I so I have tablet and i will buy one for FULL version.

Excellent review! This app looks amazing. Is there a way to get in touch with you? I've been surviving with a 4'' refractor from the 1940's 😂 and would appreciate your advice if you have a sec.

very useful!

😮

Can it not fast forward time etc? 🤔

Do i need to re pay if i delete the app plz answer ?

thanks

Can I see the sky without even pointing my phone towards the sky

Your beard 🤣🤣

iOS version is not free and cost way too expensive

I can create one star map who can teach me

Why not show full screen of the app with only your voice. Pretty irritating review. Maybe for next time a good tip.
