With this upgrade, the app will display objects as faint as magnitude 22 (versus magnitude 8 in the base version) and enable advanced observing features.\n\nStellarium Plus features (unlocked with in-app purchase):\n\n• Reach the limit of knowledge by diving in a massive collection of stars, nebulas, galaxies, star clusters and other deep sky objects:\n  - All known stars: Gaia DR2 catalog of over 1.69 billion stars\n  - All known planets, natural satellites and comets, and many other minor solar system objects (10k asteroids)\n  - Most known deep sky objects: a combined catalog of over 2 million nebulas and galaxies\n\n• Zoom almost without limits on high resolution images of deep sky objects or planetary surfaces.\n\n• Observe in the field, even without internet connection, with a \"reduced\" set of data: 2 million stars, 2 million Deep Sky Objects, 10k asteroids.\n\n• Control your telescope through WIFI: drive any GOTO telescope compatible with NexStar, SynScan or LX200 protocols.\n\n• Prepare your observing sessions using the advanced observation tools, to predict a celestial object observability and transit times.\n\nStellarium Mobile is made by the original creator of Stellarium, the well known open source planetarium and one of the best astronomy applications on Desktop PC.\n\nYour can unlock the full features using either a one time payment or a subscription.  See In-App Purchase section for the subscription price available in your country.  Payment will be charged to your iTunes account.  Your subscription will automatically renew unless cancelled 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
