About this app

SkEye Pro is an astronomy app that helps users find and identify celestial objects, using GPS positioning to show what can be seen from a given location. It brings star data, object filtering and user-defined catalogues together in one tool for people who follow the night sky.

Which sky objects can the app show for a location?

According to the description, SkEye Pro uses GPS positioning to determine the user's location and then displays visible celestial objects from that point. The source says the app covers planets, stars, constellations and other celestial bodies, which users can observe and tell apart. Because the display depends on location, the GPS setting is central to the experience described.

What information is available about stars?

Star details come from the Tycho2 catalog. The description says users can search for and view attributes such as name, position in the sky, distance and brightness for more than 2.5 million stars. The supplied material does not explain how these fields are arranged on screen, so readers should expect the listed categories rather than any specific layout.

How does object filtering help users find targets?

Object filtering is presented as a way to locate hundreds of objects from the New General Catalog and the IC Index Catalog. The source names galaxies, star clusters, binary stars and variable stars as examples of what this feature can help users find. Searches can be made by name or category code, and the description also refers to a dimmer function as one option for narrowing down objects.

Can users build their own catalogue?

Users can import custom categories from CSV files and create a personal catalogue of astronomical objects. The source lists stars, binary stars, asteroids and artificial satellites as examples of items that can be added. This allows a user to concentrate on selected objects rather than the full set, which the description presents as a way to personalise the experience.

What about events such as meteor showers?

The concluding part of the description states that the app provides detailed information on critical astronomical events, with meteor showers given as an example. The supplied material does not explain which events are covered, how dates are presented or how far the information extends, so those details cannot be confirmed from this source.

What are the scope and open details?

The source describes SkEye Pro as a tool for both experienced astronomers and casual observers. However, the supplied information does not include a verified minimum Android version, pricing, offline behaviour or clear language support, because the related metadata field is unclear. Readers should check these points on the app's store listing before installing. The record lists the developer as Harshad RJ, version 9.2.1, in the Tools category.
