What's new
Version 8.1.1 · 1 Sep 2026 · 1 month ago
This update fixes several issues reported since 8.1.0. BUG FIXES - 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. - Fixed the on-screen keyboard covering text fields in Account and Planner 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!
