SkyPortal

The famous telescope company Celestron now offers us SkyPortal, an excellent astronomy application for us to explore the mysteries of the night sky.

Discover the wonders of the night sky

Celestron, the brand of telescopes, binoculars and microscopes, offers us this official app for observing the night sky. But how does it work and what exactly does it offer?

The perfect addition to your telescope

SkyPortal is an astronomy and night sky observation app that brings the wonders of deep space to your smartphone. Their main functions are the following:

• Observing the night sky from anywhere on earth and being able to travel 100 years into the past or future.
• Identify celestial bodies such as stars, planets, constellations, galaxies and nebulae by pointing your phone at the sky.
• Remote control of Celestron telescopes equipped with WiFi.
• Animation of the celestial events.
• night vision.
• Astronomical photo section.
• audio commentary.
• Large database with lots of information.

One of the most attractive features of this device is that we can connect it to our telescope of the same brand via WiFi. Thanks to this function, when a celestial body is touched on the screen, the telescope will automatically search for it, allowing us to observe it directly without having to touch anything else.

All in all, this is a fantastic application that invites us to discover what's in the sky beyond the place we can see. And if you have a WiFi-enabled telescope, downloading the APK file of this platform is simply essential.
