Mirino

About

Mirino turns your iPhone or iPad into a simple, intuitive star finder. Want to know where a planet or constellation is in the night sky? Choose it from our catalog and follow the compass guides. Wondering what you're looking at? Just point your device up toward it. Every object comes with a large picture and a full description. FIND Choose the Moon, a planet, a space station, a star or constellation, a galaxy, a meteor shower or the Milky Way from the targets catalog. Guide dots on the compass lead you to it and, when your aim is right, the target's picture appears. DISCOVER Switch to Discover mode and sweep your device across the sky. Mirino shows you what you're pointing at, with its name and a beautiful image that updates as you move. Turn your device sideways for a larger picture. LIVE SKY Touch and hold a constellation and it zooms out of the compass onto the sky, its stars and lines drawn over the camera right where they really are. A crosshair shows where you're pointing, and if the drawing sits beside the real stars, drag it into line to calibrate the compass. Any other object is enlarged and pinned to its place in the sky. TONIGHT One tap lists the best things to see from where you are tonight: the Moon and its phase, the brightest planets, Space Station passes, any meteor shower near its peak, and the most notable stars, constellations and deep-sky objects. Tap any one and Mirino guides you straight to it. Tap the bell on any of them and Mirino reminds you when to start looking. Or switch on alerts for supermoons, lunar eclipses, meteor shower peaks and planets at their best. A weather forecast for the dark hours shows cloud, the overnight low, wind and rain. SEE THE SKY BEHIND THE COMPASS Set the camera to Scope or Full to see a live view of the sky behind the compass rose. On a dark night, Night Boost brightens the camera view so faint objects show more clearly. Constellation images turn to match their angle in the sky, with optional star names and true star colors. Stars too faint for your sky can be faded to match what you can actually see.
