To control your telescope, you will also need a hardware solution to relay commands from your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch to the serial port on your telescope. Southern Stars offers two such solutions:
- SkyWire - the world's first Apple-approved serial accessory for plug-and-play wired telescope communication.
- SkyFi - for wireless telescope control in the field, using the Wi-Fi capability built into your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch.
iOptron users please note: To control your SmartStar or MiniTower mounts with SkySafari, you'll need to use Carina Software's Voyager program running on a Mac or PC as a WiFi-to-USB relay. These iOptron mounts cannot be used with our SkyFi wireless serial adapter or SkyWire serial accessory because they only provide a USB interface, not an RS-232 serial interface.
Vixen StarBook users please note:The Vixen StarBook controller uses an ethernet interface, which is also physically incompatible with SkyFi. However, you can use an Apple AirPort Express (or other wireless router) to control the StarBook from SkySafari. This document from Vixen explains how.
iPad SupportSkySafari is a "universal" app that runs natively on the iPad, as well as the iPhone and iPod Touch. It works almost identically on both devices. In a few places, the user interface has been rearranged to fit the larger iPad screen, but the app's features and functionality remain unchanged. Here are a few screen shots of SkySafari running on the iPad. You may need to make your browser window wider to see them completely:
