It has to be an android operating system. It can have the minimal memory (probably 16 gb or less for a second hand) and a small screen. This is what I would imagine has suitable for my need: I actually don't know very much about tablets, so I could learn from what you use outside, what is bad, what is good, etc. This requires knowledge of scripting, but once you have that down you can see the instructions here.Hello everyone, I would like to get some advices on tablets for me to be able to consult Stellarium outside and access other documents. If your equipment is advanced enough and the object is bright enough, you can input the orbital parameters into Stellarium to follow the object. Find more guidance on scripting here.Īstronomers occasionally spot new comets and asteroids while scanning the sky. Since the scripting engine is still in development, Stellarium warns there may be bugs. Stellarium offers many features in advanced scripting, as long as you have the patience to learn. Find more guidance on landscapes here.Īdvanced telescope users are used to running scripts to direct their view precisely to the sky, especially when hunting down faint objects. You can also enhance landscapes on celestial objects, such as the moon, to reflect different maps or newly discovered objects. You can change the landscape in Stellarium to resemble your own backyard or preferred viewing site, giving you more of a sense of which objects are (or are not) visible from where you set up your telescope. Stellarium has a few options you can choose from, such as Inuit, Korean, Polynesian, Maori and even ancient cultures such as Mesopotamian. Professional astronomy tends to follow a set of constellations and naming procedures from the International Astronomical Union, but there are many cultures – especially indigenous ones – that have their own names and traditions associated with the sky.

The standard program covers 600,000 stars, which is good for most casual users, but advanced users will probably want to look for a larger catalog. While this is difficult for beginners to believe, there are so many stars visible (especially in telescopes) that not all catalogs cover the breadth of viewable objects.
