10.0
Version X. The biggest Sky Guide update ever.
+ Aurora Effects
We don’t all live near the polar circles, but those auroral displays sure can be beautiful. Now you can add some ethereal vibes to your evening stargazing - without all the cold weather gear! Look in Main Menu > Preferences to switch on Aurora whenever you please.
+ Lidar-based Effects
For Lidar-enabled devices, we now have a new effect in AR mode. Scan your ceiling and then tap to shatter it for a fun indoor stargazing experience.
+ Ultra-realistic Sky Shading
The sky appearance in Sky Guide looks more real than ever before, representing day, twilight, dusk and night with exceptional accuracy. This is thanks to a physics-based computation known as atmospheric multiple scattering. You can also toggle ‘Stars fade during day’ if you want star appearances to more closely match reality.
+ 3D Constellation Art
We've breathed new life into the mythological representations that appear with the constellations, adding both charm and better visual quality.
+ Redesigned Search UI
A new, visually-oriented catalog makes browsing objects more intuitive, with great new categories and up-to-the minute curations like Tonight's Best.
