The sky map: explore the sky and choose your target

The sky map is an interactive map of the night sky. It shows the sky as it appears from your selected observatory, at the current date and time or at any other time you choose. You can check precisely where an object is located and how its position changes over the night.

The sky map is available from its own tab in the bottom toolbar, and from information screen of an object in the catalog via the button "advanced".

Prepare your observations in advance

Check which objects will be visible, and when, for any hour of the night or any other day. You don't need to be connected to your telescope.

Find your way in the real sky

Use gyroscope mode: point your phone at the sky and the map follows your movements in real time. You can identify what you see and discover the objects around it.

Follow an object through the night

Display the trajectory of an object to see how its visibility evolves over 24 hours, and when it enters or leaves the visible sky area of your observatory.

Search for any object

Look up any object available on the map by name or catalog designation: deep-sky objects, constellations, stars, the Moon, the planets, and even your manual targets.

See where your telescope is pointing

Check at a glance which region of the sky your Vespera is aiming at and what field of view it covers, directly on the map.
