SouthernStars SkyWire - GoTo with iPhone and SkySafari Pro

SkyWire - GOTO with iPhone / iPad and iPod touch (with 30-pin dock connector)

Wired object positioning with iPhone/ iPad and iPod touch and SkySafari Pro

With the help of the Skysafari Pro software and the SkyWire cable, you simply connect iPhone / iPad or iPod touch with iOS 4 or higher to your mount (see list of supported mounts) and navigate from then on with the help of the extremely comprehensive planetarium software.
The cable is simply plugged into the docking port of the Iphone/Ipad after launching the SkySafari Pro software, and then connected to the mount by touch.

SkySafari is an incredibly comprehensive program and turns your Iphone/Ipad into an interactive star map with, of course, the Messier, NGC and IC objects. Also planets, their moons and satellites. SkySafari Pro additionally shows lots of dark nebulae and many vdB and lbn objects and these can be approached wonderfully.

For astrophotography, different camera fields can be specified, allowing you to directly move and point the camera to the desired section.

All you need for immediate use is the appropriate RS232 cable from your mount and SkySafari Pro from the AppStore.
