## What is CelestQuest?

Hold your iPhone up to the sky and CelestQuest shows you what's there: the stars, planets, constellations, the Moon and the space stations passing over, lined up with the real sky through your camera.

POINT AND KNOW
• Rings mark the real stars and planets your camera can see, with their names beside them
• Put anything in the centre circle to see what it is, how far away it is, and how long its light took to reach you
• Constellation lines join the stars without covering them up
• Works by day too: see where the Moon, planets and stars are while daylight hides them

ASK "WHERE IS SATURN?"
• Type or say what you're looking for: "Where is Venus?", "the North Star", "Big Dipper"
• An arrow and plain words lead you there: "turn left 40°, then tilt up 20°"
• Below the horizon? It tells you when and where it comes up

DIVE IN
• Hold something in the circle and the view dives in for a close-up: planets turning with their moons going round, stars in their own colours, galaxies in their own shapes
• A little map shows where it sits in the Milky Way, and how big it is next to something you know

TAKE THE SKY TOUR
• A guided trip through the best things up right now, read aloud
• It starts near where you're pointing

LISTEN TO THE SKY
• Hear the sky as a music box: each star rings as it crosses the meridian
• "Play tonight" turns the whole night, dusk to dawn, into a short song you can save

MADE FOR DARK SKIES
• Works offline: the sky is worked out on your iPhone
• Night vision turns the names, maps and buttons red to help keep your eyes dark-adapted
• Positions include the air's refraction, so things near the horizon sit where you really see them
• Compass a little off? Line up on the Moon or a bright star and the names sit right on the real sky

PRIVATE
No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your location never leaves your iPhone.
