What's New in Luminos Pro

14.0.2

June 23, 2026

Luminos Pro 14 is the biggest telescope release yet—and it brings an even more beautiful sky to explore! Advanced Telescope Control Connect and control more equipment with new support for Alpaca / ASCOM, Celestron NexStar AUX, ACL/MNCP, and Rainbow Astro mounts. Automatic discovery has been expanded so even more telescopes will be recognized with zero configuration needed. * ZWO Seestar Integration: Connect to a Seestar to see its live image directly inside the Sky View. * Convenient Centering: New controls make it easy to nudge objects perfectly into the middle of your eyepiece without leaving the Sky View. * Satellite Tracking: Many compatible telescopes can now dynamically follow and track satellites as they cross the sky. A More Immersive Sky The sky itself looks better than ever. The Moon and Mercury now feature true 3D terrain you can fly over, and the Milky Way background has been completely remastered at a higher resolution with less noise. Deeper Data & Expanded Catalogs I’ve refreshed the Washington Double Star, GCVS, ATNF Pulsar, Wolf-Rayet, and exoplanet databases, updated surface feature names across the solar system, and added richer detail — and proper source credits — to deep-space object pages. As a bonus, Wolf-Rayet stars now list their associated nebulae, and you can now search for Stephenson 2-18, one of the largest stars known. Rounding things out * Equipment Calculator Upgrades: Camera profiles now accept resolution information to display focal length and arc-seconds per pixel. * Smarter Lists: You can now sort your custom lists by Right Ascension (RA). * Seamless Catalog Updates: Downloadable catalogs now automatically reinstall whenever they are updated. * Global Improvements: I've freshly re-translated the user manual and articles, fixed regional number formatting, resolved night-vision display issues, and made in-app purchases and subscriptions more reliable than ever. Thank you for using Luminos Pro. Clear skies!

Das beste Planetariumprogramm

Viele Programme habe ich schon ausprobiert. Jetzt nutze ich Luminos schon seit vielen Jahren und bin überzeugt, dass es nichts besseres gibt. Vollgepackt mit Funktionen, alle wichtigen Kataloge, wunderschön umgesetzt und ein Service, der unschlagbar ist. Ich liebe es.

Best Planetarium App Ever

I've been using this app for years and I just love it. It has everything you can imagine and much more and it is even constantly growing. I've tried several other apps on iPad and PC, but this one is truly the very best. Everything works greatly and very user friendly. And if a problem ever arises out of the millions of possibilities: a quick email to John and the problem will be solved. Thank you for this wonderful app, your excellent service and your knowledge.

No longer seems to be supported.

Revised back to five stars. My thanks to dev for prompt, clear response. Leaving for prompt customer service kudos.

Old:Six months no fixes. Lifetime memberships always feel like a trap. Satellite updates don’t work like they used to.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. I understand your frustration about the recent gap in updates. I've been working on significant improvements behind the scenes, and I'm committed to supporting Luminos Pro long-term. The satellite issue is because some categories of Celestrak data feeds are now obsolete and no longer return data. Turn them off for now in Luminos Pro (swipe left to delete one), and in the next update in a couple of weeks they will be gone, plus there are new Celestrak categories that I've added support for. Best regards, John Stephen Author of Luminos Pro

More and more features get locked, as the app is devolving over time

How is it even possible, that I paid 30€ for this app and it STILL has massive amounts of locked content? Like how much money do you want me to spend for functionality that other FREE Apps also provide.

Nearly all of the lists of objects, more detailed information and means of setting up a camera operation (and much more) are LOCKED behind a monthly subscription, what did I even pay for in the first place?

It is a good app all in all, but over time more and more features get limited, I genuinely do not see any real arguments for this app anymore, when many free apps include the same features. It used to be much better, all these relevant features got locked in retrospect, so the app is literally devolving. It has gotten to the point where it is annoying to use, as the app itself is not enough anymore and one needs external information.

It‘s honestly quite sad, I originally bought it, because it truely was better than its competitors. Nowadays, just get another alternative that does not decrease in quality.

Response from developer

Hi there, thank you for your review. I completely understand your frustration, but it looks like there has been a mix-up with the apps! Luminos and Luminos Pro are actually two completely separate apps. The €30 you paid was for the original Luminos, which is a one-time purchase with no subscription. It sounds like you might have accidentally downloaded my other app, Luminos Pro, which uses a subscription model for its advanced features. I assure you I never retroactively lock features. If you delete this app and reinstall the original Luminos from your App Store purchase history, you will find that all the features you originally paid for are still there and fully accessible, no subscription required. Please feel free to email me at support@wobbleworks.com if you need help finding your original purchase!
