Thanks for the pointer. Star Walk isn’t in the tags because it didn’t exist when I wrote the post.

I had a chance to look at it, and it is indeed good, and I especially like the quick and easy way it lets you change the time. But I think Starmap is still at the head of the class, both for its larger location database (it even lists the Galapagos!) as well as having more configurable settings. I especially miss a magnitude threshold in Star Walk.

I don’t see Stra Walk in tags. I’m surprised, because I see it as one of the best applications. Try it out too.

I'm not an iPhone user and never will be, but I was still amazed to find this: iPhone port of IRAF.
