Version History This update restores plate-solve re-centering with SmartEye, and fixes several issues reported since 8.1.0.
BUG FIXES
- Restored "Align Telescope and GoTo" after a plate solve. In 8.1.0 this action was replaced by the drift-recovery re-center, which returns the mount to where an imaging run began - so it never appeared for a one-off solve and could not correct an inaccurate GoTo. Select a target, slew, solve, and SkySafari centers it accurately again, including on the first solve of a session.
- Fixed your location's longitude changing on its own. Searching for events could leave your observing site at the event's longitude, so the sky was drawn for the wrong place moments after opening.
- Fixed Astro Weather showing "Error generating observation text" instead of a forecast summary, and showing metric temperatures and wind speeds to those who prefer imperial units. Weather service problems are now reported as errors rather than as poor observing conditions.
- Fixed the Sun still being drawn un-eclipsed after travelling onto an eclipse track without changing the date.
- Improved the "best place on Earth" location reported for events, which could be off by up to 21 km.
- Fixed Event Details offering time playback for events with no known start or end.
- Fixed the Eclipse Finder applying your eclipse-type filter only after timing every eclipse.
- Fixed the on-screen keyboard covering text fields in Account, Planner, Alpaca, and Appulse settings.
IMPROVEMENTS
- Remote plate-solve status messages are clearer, and are now translated in every supported language.
- Sharper textures at extreme zoom, with less per-frame work in the sky chart renderer.
Thank you for using SkySafari. Clear skies! 8.1.1 Sep 1 NEW: IMAGE CASTING
Share what your telescope camera is seeing, and watch what others are capturing, in real time.
- Cast your images. Broadcast a live view of your imaging session so friends, students, and club members can follow along from their own devices.
- Watch live sessions with SkyCast. Follow another observer's session and see their captured images appear right alongside the sky chart.
- Rich image details. Each shared image now shows the target object's information, exposure, and total integration time in a redesigned detail view, with a full-screen viewing mode.
- Privacy you control. Choose your display name and decide what others can see with new imaging privacy controls.
IMPROVEMENTS
- Added a new "Draw Full Length Lines" option for constellations, giving you more control over how constellation figures are drawn.
- Clearer equipment setup for Field of View indicators. When no equipment is defined, SkySafari now explains what's needed and offers quick "Choose" buttons to get you set up.
BUG FIXES
- Fixed corrupted Observing Lists and Observations after data updates. Updating Minor Body Orbit Data (or other database updates) no longer reassigns your saved asteroids, comets, and deep-sky objects to the wrong targets. Your lists and observation history now stay correctly linked to the objects you chose.
- Fixed constellation lines appearing dotted instead of solid after the 8.0.3 update.
- Fixed screens flashing white. Object information screens and other freshly-opened views no longer flicker white before appearing.
- Fixed the Eclipse Finder failing to return known solar and lunar eclipses.
- Fixed satellite and comet data being merged, which caused satellites to plot incorrectly and only appear under "Show Comets."
- Fixed Calendar "View" downloads failing silently. SkySafari now alerts you if a linked SkySet or SkyList can't be downloaded.
- Fixed Date & Time edits drifting when crossing time zones or daylight-saving boundaries.
- Improved planet accuracy with corrected positions for Jupiter's moons and Saturn's moon Titan.
- Fixed rendering of imported KML data with long line features.
