Stellarium Mobile Plus Sky Map for iOS

Stellarium Mobile Plus is the next generation astronomy star map app. It combines a realistic and accurate night sky simulation with a gigantic amount of online imaging and sky objects catalogs.

Made by the original creator of Stellarium, the award-winning open source planetarium, this Plus version was designed from the ground up to show a potentially unlimited amount of data through an intuitive and minimalist user interface.

Main features:

All known stars: Gaia DR2 catalog of over 1.69 billion stars

All known planets and their natural satellites, including very high multi-resolution imaging for the major ones

Most known deep sky objects: a combined catalog of over 2 million nebulae and galaxies

All known comets

Many minor solar system objects (10k asteroids)

Many visible artificial earth satellites (including the International Space Station)

A full-sky very high multi-resolution background image

for experimented astronomers it also includes:

Telescope control module: drive any telescope compatible with NexStar, SynScan or LX200 through Bluetooth or WIFI.

Please note that the app works perfectly without internet connection, but with a reduced set of data (2 million stars, 2 million Deep Sky Objects, 10k asteroids).

Beside these features, it also includes most features already present in the standard Stellarium Mobile app:

show the sky at any time and place

sensor control to identify a star in just a few seconds, just by pointing the phone at the sky!

asterisms and illustrations of the constellations for dozen of sky cultures

realistic landscape and atmosphere with sunrise & sunset

accurate simulation of atmosphere refraction

night mode (red)
