Mirino

Mirino turns your iPhone or iPad into a simple, intuitive astronomical sky finder. Want to know where a planet or constellation is in the night sky? Choose it from our catalog and follow the guides. Wondering what you're looking at? Just point your device up toward it. Mirino has an extensive library of planets, constellations, deep sky objects like galaxies and nebulae, bright stars and meteor showers. Each has a big beautiful picture and a short description of what it is and the stories behind it. No complicated star charts. No screen crowded with hundreds of stars and paths. Mirino is designed to make finding and identifying the most interesting things in the night sky quick and easy. FIND Choose the Moon, a planet, bright star, constellation, galaxy, meteor shower, celestial pole or the Milky Way from the catalog. Guide dots over the live camera view help point you toward it until your target is in the crosshair. You can even locate objects hidden by daylight or cloud, or find where the Sun will set or where the Moon will rise. DISCOVER See something interesting, or just curious what's in that part of the sky? Switch to Discover mode and sweep your device across the sky. Mirino shows you what you're pointing at, with its name and a beautiful image that updates as you move. TONIGHT Not sure what to look for? One tap lists the best things to see from where you are tonight: the Moon and its phase, the brightest planets, any meteor shower near its peak, and the stars, constellations and deep sky objects well placed after dark. Tap one of those and Mirino guides you to it. Every object tells you when it's above the horizon tonight, when it's best seen and how bright it is. The Moon shows tonight's phase and the next full Moon; meteor showers list their active dates, peak night and hourly rate. SEE THE SKY BEHIND THE COMPASS Turn on the SkyScope to see a live view of the sky behind the compass rose. On a dark night, Night Boost automatically brightens the camera view so objects in the dark sky show more clearly. Auto mode gradually ramps up the strength as the sky gets darker, easing off again when it gets brighter. Leave it on Auto or (with Pro) set the strength yourself.
