Press now to restore to the current date. Automatic Tracking: When selection is disabled, the sky will rotate according the digital compass after 3 seconds. This mode allow to track an actual visible star. And reveal its name. For example, in a situation, you have a clear sky and you see a star or a bright object in the sky, use this function and point the device toward the bright object During this mode the orientation of the device is tracked. Pointing the device to the ground will track the ground for example. Also, in order to ease the tracking of the visible objects, only the most visible stars and planets are drawn. Constellations are hidden and grid is displayed.

8 Check this video: about how to use the tracking mode. Note: This mode point to sky can be disabled in the Settings/Location Automatic Compass. Comets (MPC): Display comets, meteors and satellites. Note: By default, there is no comets and meteors, you need to sync from the web. Tap the button, and select the database you may want to use. Orbits: Display sun path. This helps to see how high the sun will goes during the day. Star: Display stars names. Only the brightest stars are shown.

12 in USA/Nevada will be displayed. To select a town, just click on one of the FLAGS. If your town is not listed, go the Settings page and check 'Used defined loc.', then click on Lon. and Lat. to enter your longitude and latitude. Note: If you can t use location services for some reasons, and don t know your longitude and latitude and couldn t find in the search page, use this third party site : Glossary Right ascension (abbrev. RA; symbol α) is the astronomical term for one of the two coordinates of a point on the celestial sphere when using the equatorial coordinate system. The other coordinate is the declination. Declination (abbrev. dec or δ) is one of the two coordinates of the equatorial coordinate system, the other being either right ascension or hour angle. Dec is comparable to latitude, projected onto the celestial sphere, and is measured in degrees north and south of the celestial equator. The Minor Planet Circulars (MPC): The Minor Planet Center, under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union, it is the official organization in charge of collecting observational data for minor planets (asteroids) and comets, calculating their orbits and publishing this information via the Minor Planet Circulars. TLE or Orbital elements are the parameters required to uniquely identify a specific orbit. Opposition : A planet (or asteroid or comet) is said to be "in opposition" when it is in opposition to the Sun, as seen from the Earth. When a planet is like this, it is visible almost all night, rising around sunset, culminating around midnight and setting around sunrise; at this point of its orbit it is roughly[1] closest to the Earth, making it appear bigger and brighter. Aphelion: A planet is said to be farthest distance from Earth.

13 Perihelion: A planet is said to be closest distance from Earth. The planet will appear bigger and easier to spot. Contact Contact info@realtech-vr.com for information about SkyORB. for information and download.
