About MySky Pro
Switch among sky, solar system, and Moon scenes and pin your photos to real positions.
Rotate the sky and plate-solve deep-sky photos onto it. In the solar system, pin a photo to a planet or the Sun. On the Moon, overlay a lunar photo, then drag, pinch, and rotate. Works stay in a library on your device.
Features
Three scenes, one photo library
Celestial sphere
Pan the sky with Milky Way, landscape, alt/az and RA/Dec grids, the ecliptic, and constellation lines. Switch between Western and Chinese constellation systems.
Solar system
Open the orrery, watch planets in motion and auto-rotate the camera, then pin a photo to the Sun, a planet, or the Moon.
Moon
Save a lunar photo on this device, then drag, pinch, and rotate it on the Moon page to match craters and surface detail.
Plate solving
Upload a sky photo and the app solves its sky position and pins it. You can also place it manually. Check solve status in the photo library.
Photo library
Manage on-device works by sky, solar system, and Moon: preview, rename, show on the scene, or delete.
Catalog search
Search stars, constellations, and Messier objects by name or catalog ID, then jump to that place on the sky.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
My Sky is an offline deep-sky celestial album. MySky Pro also includes solar-system and Moon scenes, plate solving, catalog search, and richer sky layers. See the comparison above.
Photos are saved on your device. Sky plate solving submits the image to a solve service; you still view the result locally.
After you upload a sky photo, the app solves its position and pins it on the celestial sphere. You can check status in the library or place it manually.
For the solar system, choose the Sun, a planet, or the Moon, then circle-crop. Moon photos are saved on device and aligned by dragging, pinching, and rotating.
The app currently offers Chinese and English. This product site is available in 10 languages.
Search stars, constellations, and Messier objects by name or catalog ID, then locate them on the sky.
