Hello all!

Glad to announce the availability of KStars Lite for Android (BETA armv7). It's not available yet in the Google Play Store until we finish some further testing.

KStars Lite is developed by our GSoC 2016 brilliant student: Artem Fedoskin, kudos to him for achieving such a great milestone in KStars history!

Feedback is appreciated on any issues or suggestions.

I have been using Stellarium mobile for looking up named stars and orienting when calibrating mount and finding my way around the sky.

I will now use KStars Lite! :)

Two minor, future feature requests

When i add my geolocation I can use the GPS to set long - lat and I can later view it by going to Set geolocation -> click my location and view location.
I would really like a shortcut to 'View timesite' with date, time hh:mm:ss and lat - long in the right context menu.
This is something I always use in Stellarium.

When enabling Color Scheme -> 'Night vision' it would be great if the menu's background was a shade of red to preserve night adopted sight.

I really like this app, and will be using it from now on.

As a note it works on my Sony Xperia Z3 compact :)

Really nice implementation of the platform. A few questions arise.
What is meant by Lite?
I find Indi control which works fine along with Sky map control of mount but is there an Ekos panel or one planned?

Working well on Galaxy S4. ☺

Best regards.

No plans for Ekos there at the moment, but could be in the future. You can also do simple capture sequences.
