When Raspberry Pi (Raspbian Bullseye) Operating System is released (within the next 6 months) it will have version 20. Is there no newer version of this program for Pi? If there is a newer version installed elsewhere on the Pi, how do I find it? There's a Stellarium folder in the system, but I don't see anything in there that looks like an app. However, when I start up Stellarium, it still starts up as version 0.18.3. So I looked online how to update and found the page listed below saying you have to install and enable something called SNAPS, then install a SNAP version of Stellarium, which I did. One neat thing is its “Augmented Reality” camera, which puts the constellations, planets, and other things on top of your camera’s viewfinder.I used Pi's add/remove software to install Stallarium in my Astroberry setup, and it installed an old version 0.18.3. The main difference is there’s no way to pan around with your finger, it only moves as you move your phone. SkyView is the same general idea as Stellatium. SkyView doesn’t receive as many updates as Stellarium, but it still works well. It’s available for a one-time purchase price of $1.99, or you can use the “Lite” version for free. SkyViewĪnother great app for Android, iPhone, and iPad is SkyView. It’s a great app to have in your back pocket. You can even zoom in and out to get a different perspective on our planet. Space Bar: Get whatever you’ve selected into the centre of the screen. Right click: When you want to move on from your selected object, simply clear your selection. Left click: Select any object in the sky a star, a planet, or a satellite. Stellarium also shows where planets, comets, satellites, and other deep space objects are in real time. Here is a list of some of the shortcuts I’ve found myself using the most.

You can use your finger to pan around or take advantage of your device’s sensors and see the constellations on the screen for exactly where you’re looking. The basic idea of the app is it uses your location to know which constellations will be visible.
