Download Issues: There have been reports of users who have purchased Star Chart but have then been unable to download the application.There can be multiple reasons for this, ranging from your device's built-in technologies not supporting GPS, your personal device settings disabling GPS, the "Use GPS" toggle in Star Chart's "Set Location" menu option, as well as GPS signal strength in your current location. If Star Chart displays 'GPS not found' in the top left of the screen, then Star Chart has failed to get GPS data.
Where possible we get this from GPS data available to us on your device. Location: Star Chart also needs to know where you are located to accurately draw the skies as you would see them in your current location.Star Chart needs both these pieces of information in order to work properly. Time and Time Zone: Ensure your device is set to the correct time, and just as importantly, the correct time zone.There is a possible bug in some CDMA devices that may cause all Star Chart's objects to show up in the wrong position - we are working on this and will have a fix asap. Ensure the GPS coordinates are accurate for your location (especially if you have input them yourself). Ensure the right Time is set for your location. If you find this problem occurs for you, please try the following: Ensure your Time Zone is set correctly for your location.
To function properly, Star Chart requires the following device settings to be accurate: Time / Time Zone / GPS coordinates. Object's Positions Inaccurate: There have been reports of the sun and other object's positions not showing up accurately.Also please ensure you are not near a strong magnetic field, for example electricity cables or a magnet attached to your device's case. If this happens, hold your device out at arms length and make a figure-of-eight motion with your arm three or four times. This is often the case when you experience either "stickyness" or lack of movement, obviously inaccurate directional pointing (you know you're pointing north, but Star Chart seems to be pointing another direction) or if the screen pans in a different direction to your physical movement. Compass:Sometimes devices with compasses lose accuracy and the compass needs recalibrating.If it does not, please ensure the AR-mode toggle button in the menu screen isn't disabled. AR issues: On devices with a built-in compass Augmented Reality mode should kick-in automatically upon startup.Star Chart will work on other phones, but you will be required to pan through the skies using your fingers. AR Support: Please note that Star Chart requires certain hardware to function in Augmented Reality mode - for example a compass.Alternatively wait a few minutes and try launching Star Chart again. Ensure you have received a payment receipt from the store you purchased Star Chart through and click on the link provided in your email receipt. There are a few options for solving this problem: Ensure your device is connected to the internet and launch Star Chart. Reasons for this error occurring include: No internet access available upon launch / Authentication's Servers are temporarily down / Authentication process has been delayed. Access Denied / Unable to Validate License: This error occurs when Star Chart has not been able to connect to the payment authentication server of the store you purchased Star Chart through.
There are also telescope interfaces and many versatile display options like night vision for instance. Numerous star charts and indexes can be installed. Sk圜hart can also download Digitized Sky Survey Charts and superimpose images over these charts. All these features make this celestial atlas more complete than a conventional planetarium. There are a large number of parameters that will help you choose specifically or automatically which of the corresponding catalogs to use, the color and the dimension of stars and nebulae, the representation of planets, the display of labels and coordinate grids, the superposition of pictures, the condition of visibility and more. The primary goal of Sk圜hart is to prepare various sky maps for a particular observation project. Additionally, you can view the position of planets, asteroids, and comets as well. You can zero in and make use of the cataloged data for numerous stars and nebulae. Sk圜hart gives the amateur astronomer the ability to draw and map out the night sky.
