Triatlas for Android

Thank you for making this available....one more fact proving the people in power have and continue to keep knowledge hidden.

Uranometria doesn't come close to comparing to this atlas. The only comparable hardcopy star atlas that I know of that compares is "The Great Atlas Of The Sky" at a cost of $250 or more.

Brilliantly designed; a tour de force in bringing the classic star atlas to the Android/Mobile. Has nice touches such as a brightness slider & night mode always present discretely at the bottom left of the page. Moving from chart to chart is well designed with buttons on the edges of the screen to go to the adjacent ones. Perhaps the next iteration of the app can add a feature whereby if you swipe at the edge of the screen it will move to the adjacent chart. Pinch-zooming works well, too. Another suggestion: Please shift the main index page over by a chart or two. One of the first things I looked for was the Virgo galaxy cluster-- and it's hard to find! You need a chart centered on the space between Virgo and Leo-- and that area of the sky needs to be somewhere other than buried at the absolute right side end of the scrolling index big chart-- and even there it's impossible to tell where to tap! I would love to see a colors option whereby one could set the colors of different types of DSOs--galaxies in, say, blue; globulars in yellow, star clusters in orange, etc. That would make this even more usable. In any event, any serious amateur astronomer would do well to download this app--and being free--why not?!

I haven't had a chance to use this next to my scope yet, but from what I've been checking it out in the house waiting for clear weather, it looks great. Be nice when I want some simplicity along side of SkySafari Pro.

Deep star charts that are easy to read and navigate through. Brightness control and red night-vision mode is a nice touch. I've been using printed Triatlas charts for a long time, but having them handy on a mobile device is terrific.
