Celestron’s newest planetarium app is an astronomy suite that redefines how you experience the night sky. Explore the Solar System, 120,000 stars, over 200 star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, and dozens of asteroids, comets, and satellites—including the ISS. SkyPortal includes everything you need to experience the night sky in an exciting new way.
Best of all, you can even control and automatically align your compatible Celestron telescope from your device using StarSense and WiFi technology.
The telescope experts at Celestron have partnered with the renowned app developers at SkySafari to provide the best planetarium experience you'll find in a free mobile app. SkyPortal is compatible with both iOS and Android devices.
WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 2.3.1
SkyPortal version 2.3.1 is NOW AVAILABLE for Android.

COMPUTERIZED TELESCOPE CONTROL
Pair your device to your compatible Celestron WiFi telescope, such as Astro-Fi, NexStar Evolution, or any compatible Celestron telescope equipped with the SkyPortal WiFi Module (formerly SkyQ-Link).
