App summary

Sky Scanner will turn your phone into a real telescope. If you like looking at the night sky, but in addition to beautiful views, you also want to know the names of certain stars, then this application is especially for you.

The principle of the application.
1. Make sure you have a clear night sky overhead. If there are any signs of cloudiness, then the application may not work correctly. Therefore, it is better to wait for more suitable weather conditions.
2. Launch the main screen of the Sky Scanner app.
3. Aim the sight (center of the screen) at a bright star from the region of the sky that you want to scan and find out the names of these stars.
4. You correctly aimed at the star if the crosshair turns green. Now you need to fix the phone in place so that it does not move. Thus, the image will be as clear as possible.
5. Wait a while for the stars to be recognized.

This app may not work if all conditions are met. This is due to the fact that there are a large number of different devices with different cameras and characteristics. Therefore, we are waiting for your feedback in the Google Play reviews and we apologize in advance if you are unlucky.

If you managed to successfully recognize the stars in the sky. Then write a review about it, the author of the application will be very pleased.
