Using Astromist sky chart, 2 stars alignment has been never made so easy. For more advanced astronomers,Astromist provides several stars alignment methods to get accurate pointing on sky objects and planets on every type of mount (home made with encoder or commercial home).

"Everything in a few taps and hollow your hand" was the guiding principle behind the design of Astromist.Limitations:

  • no saving of configuration. You have to enter your location each time.
  • selection of a maximum of 5 objects at a time,
  • search of objects only inside a small set of catalogs,
  • reduced Moon feature catalog available,
  • reduced Mars feature catalog available,
  • limited date and time modification inside main simulators,
  • no tools provided to update some databases or create custom catalogs
  • bluetooth is disabled.
    What's new in this release:
  • Fix sporadic reset when using object list within SkyChart after selecting a star,
  • Fix negative rise hour of the moon on the wizzard page for some days and locations,
  • Fix bad M103 image thumbnail,
  • Fiw Dreyer description display issue if a star is selected inside NightTripper,
  • Release new high resolution Messier image library in complement the low res one (Thanks to Carlo Mascellani for this !),
  • Add upload of bright stars by default to enable common name identification on click inside sky charts,
  • Change display mode of images within skychart to get 65000 colors instead of 256.

    Requirements:
  • 2000KB RAM
  • Palm OS 4.0
