What's new in SkyWindow

Hour-by-hour cloud cover, dew and wind from Open-Meteo. Cloudy hours no longer count as usable time. The forecast is kept until it expires or is refreshed: automatically when the app opens, or via ⋮ → Refresh forecast. Off by default; only rounded coordinates (about 1 km) are sent.

Choose a Seestar S30, S30 Pro, S50, S50 Pro or DWARF mini, DWARF 3, DRACO and see how each target fits the frame, in alt-az mode (the field slowly rotates during the night) or EQ mode.

Ranked suggestions based on clear, unobstructed time, framing, the Moon and brightness, with the best time to shoot each one.

Tap the sky map to add a direction, drag its edges or use −/+, set a height and a name. "Check & adjust with camera" draws your blocked sky over the live view and lets you set edges by pointing the phone.

The heading now follows the gyroscope; the compass only corrects it slowly while the magnetic field looks normal. Radiators, steel or speakers no longer make the view jump, and a warning shows when the compass is disturbed. New "Gyro only" option in Calibrate.

Aligning doubled the error instead of removing it, and was limited to 30°. Old corrections are reset once.

Tonight list, object details with altitude chart and sky map, AR view with the night path and hour ticks, blocked directions per location, compare locations, red night mode.
