Star Charts by Wil Tirion is a Reference app by Astrovisuals. These are serious Star Charts! Not a planetarium-type app suitable for beginners, but rather a very detailed series of charts of the night sky for observers using binoculars or a telescope. Prepared by famous celestial cartographer Wil Tirion, they present the entire sky in the form of 18 charts, 16 covering the equatorial region of the sky (8 each side of the celestial equator) and one for each of the Polar Regions.

The app is great, but it would be nice if one was able to turn on a bullseye very much like the Telrad and able to move that bullseye to the target you looking for. With the bullseye on the map and the bullseye on the ones Telrad-Finder it will help one have more of a perspective of where the object are in relationship to the map and in the sky. See I have the spiral bound Sky Atlas 2000.0 by Wil Tirion that's 22" X 14" and it came with a acrylic Device that has Star Magnitude, Degrees and micro-find-glass bubble and the important one is the Telrad Bullseye, with the Bullseye option I'd give it 10 stars. Note the Objective is that you can turn on the bullseye then put your finger on the bullseye and drag it to that Galaxy, Nebula, Globular Cluster, place it on that target then on looks though the Telrad on ones telescope look at the chart and compares what you see on the chart to the sky. Oh yes and able to control brightness of the bullseye as well. Thank you.
This is a good basic star chart, not Uranometria but OK. A few improvements could make it great: 1. Field of view circles. 2. Option to display mirror image view seen through a scope. 3. Slider to change faintest magnitude displayed. 4. Controls on screen not buried in a menu. 5. Stars to magnitude 8 or 9.
Easy to use and best quality charts
Will's app does not work well with OS 6.0.1 I phone. I do think his printed charts are among the best. I hope you can correct the problems BTS
Need a way to tell the exact RA and Dec by touching the screen, and a way to put field of view circles or telrad circles on the chart.
