ISS Detector App

[Wjolcz]

If you dont know, the ISS Detector is an Android app that let's you detect man made satellites in the night sky. The basic version let's you predict only two types though: the ISS and the Iridium sats. The premium content let's you show the path of the Hubble telescope, X-37 and some other stuff.

My question is (if you have it): has anyone bought the premium version? Are Hubble and X-37 bright enough to spot them with the naked eye?

Celestron Skyportal is on both and it has a ton of sats you can see for free, as well as a lot of other stuff. You can also link it up to a Celestron telescope and have the app point the telescope around to objects. It's awesome and free!

Awwwwww... I thought for a second you can connect to a telescope somewhere in the world and observe planets in real time. Shame there's nothing like that. The app looks ok, but I would like to have the ability to track sats only.

Well it has all the functions, nothing is impeded. It also highlights easily visible stuff right then. It's really nice.
