## What is Skycharted?

Meteor showers are easy to miss. The peak can fall at 3am, the radiant can sit low until after midnight, and moonlight can drown all but a handful of them. Skycharted does that arithmetic for your exact spot on Earth and hands you a plan.

SKY EVENTS, PLANNED FOR WHERE YOU STAND
• Every major meteor shower: Quadrantids, Lyrids, Eta Aquariids, Perseids, Orionids, Leonids, Geminids and more
• Lunar and solar eclipses, listed only when they're visible from your location, with local times for every phase
• Full moons and supermoons, with moonrise time and direction
• Close pairings of the Moon and bright planets over the coming weeks

For each one Skycharted works out the best viewing window, which compass direction to face, how high the radiant climbs, a realistic meteors-per-hour figure, and whether the Moon is up to spoil it. Tap "Find it in the sky" and the camera view points you straight at the radiant, the Moon or the planet.

TRACE THE REAL SKY
Each evening Skycharted picks a constellation that's well placed above you. Trace it star by star along the asterism lines astronomers use and it's logged in your field journal. Work toward all 88 IAU constellations. Tap "I saw it" on a sky event and that goes in the journal too.

FREE, WITH NO ACCOUNT
Tonight's events and their full plan, the event calendar, the constellation collection, the camera sky-pointer and a daily dusk note about what's up are free for everyone, with no ads.

SKYCHARTED PRO
• Plans for any night ahead, so you can pick the best night for a trip to dark skies
• Peak alerts an hour before each best window
• A week and month view of when each missing constellation is next well placed

All the astronomy runs on your phone using astronomy-engine and the Hipparcos star catalog. Your location is used for the calculations and stays on the device.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-11

- Tonight's sky no longer sends you hunting for a Moon that hasn't risen.
- Opening a sky event with location off now asks for location instead of saying the event has passed.
- Try Skycharted Pro free for 7 days: plan every meteor shower and eclipse ahead, with peak alerts.
- Yearly, monthly or lifetime on one clear screen, with the price after your trial shown up front.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-06

Sky events arrive: every meteor shower peak, eclipses you can actually see from your location, full moons and supermoons, and close Moon and planet pairings, each with a local plan showing the best window, which way to face and how much moonlight to expect. Tonight's plan is free. Tap "I saw it" to log events alongside your constellations. Skycharted Pro is now a subscription with a free week, adding peak alerts and plans for any night ahead, and ads are gone for everyone.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-29

The home screen now scrolls the way you'd expect: swipe anywhere, including right across the star chart, and "Find it in the sky" sits just under tonight's constellation instead of below the fold. Pinch to zoom the chart still works as before.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-29

No release notes.
