This is my first post to the website, as my account was just approved today but I have already seen/used your app and it is awesome and easy to use, although red isn't my favorite color but it will do I suppose ; )

Maybe not, but it's your eyes' favourite colour when it's dark. When you're out with a scope, you want to preserve your night vision, and red affects it less than other colours. You'll find pretty much all astronomy apps have red on black for just this reason

Thanks for the program, couple of observations on my part after testing on Nexus S (2.3.1) and G1 (1.6) - works great on both of 'em:

* great idea for the time/gps/compass info on screen, however it looks like the gps portion is quite a battery drain according to OS's list of what's using phone battery.

* exit pupil info would be nice to have

The idea for the time / compass / gps features is to help you (and myself) to setup your goto mount. I honestly admit that I never thought of looking at the power consumption for those features. I think I'll only poll the GPS location right after the app starts. In the current version it is polled every second or so (which isn't really necessary).

You want the exit pupil? Done! It's in the next version

I've changed the GPS polling to once per start-up of the app. Right after starting the app will wait until it has a GPS lock and then turn GPS off to prevent further power consumption.

Good idea, that... My phone's an Atrix. Foviewer was not designed for the 540x960 qHD display, so it's a little offset. Doesn't affect me, but thought you might want to know.

And it's really small on my EEE Pad Transformer's 800x1280 screen. Works fine otherwise, though.

Boy there are a lot of lucky people around here! You actaully managed to get your hands on a transformer! I've pre-ordered mine, but haven't heard an eta yet... Holland is always last

The previews are fixed to 2x2 degrees at the moment, that makes the various calculations much easier. As soon as I have my TF101 I'm going to see if I can make larger previews.

To be frank though, I'm not sure if I'm going to incorporate larger previews in the free version... I need features to make the full version more attractive, since only 3 people bought the full version compared to 900 who downloaded the free version... Many thanks to the 3 people who did buy the full version though, I really appreciate it!

If you own an Android phone, I would like to invite you to try my new Android application, FOViewer. You can find it in the Android Market.
