#Interactive skychart download#
Sorry for the inconvenience.*** Star Chart is now FREE! *** The top educational & augmented reality astronomy app - download and find out why over 20 million people use Star Chart! We hope to iron out the remaining problems with the Interactive Sky Chart over the next month. At the level of resolution of a full-sky chart, a 50-mile error in location is negligible.Īs before, Change Location is a popup window, so you must enable popups to use it. Anything within 50 miles (80 km) will work fine. Instead, we recommend selecting a named location near you. The option to set your latitude and longitude manually doesn't work very well. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to override the time zone. The time zone is now deduced automatically from your location, whereas before it needed to be set manually. The new geocoder knows some pretty obscure places, but we're sure it's not perfect. The Sky Chart has an improved "geocoder" to deduce your location from the name of your city and country (and, for the U.S. That's OK - just close the old window and proceed with the new one. So if you use multiple computers, you will have to Change Location on each.Īn odd glitch is that when you do a Change Location, the Sky Chart with the corrected location pops up in a new window or tab, leaving the old one in place. After you have changed the location, the new location is remembered in a cookie on your computer instead of being stored centrally on the server. As before, the Sky Chart comes up in Greenwich, England by default.
