Report an issueAstrolabe Clock is an astronomical clock inspired by the astrolabe, an ancient astronomical instrument used to tell time and to predict the location of the Sun, stars and planets. This modern interpretation gives a view of the sky showing at a glance the time of day, day of year, and the location in the sky of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars. Astrolabe Clock also gives the time of sunrise and sunset, the phase of the Moon, transit times for the Sun, Moon, planets and stars, and can be used to show the occurrence of solar and lunar eclipses.

8 of 25Great app!
Absolutely essential for astronomy enthusiasts. At a glance info on stars planets, Sun, Moon and more!
I just got my first GermanEquatorial Mount (with a new Scope obviously), and was really disappointed when I found-out about setting the Right Ascension manual dial. Now, with this App, I have my local position setting right on my phone....already calculated. All I have to do is aim my scope due south, reset, then find my next target. Thanks much!
I am learning to use an actual functional astrolabe, and this app has been extremely useful in my studies. Simply having the known altitude of the sun at my location allows me easy comparisons to my manual readings and helps me adjust/correct my mistakes. And it’s free?! Almost too good to be true.
Does just about everything I want...except show age of moon in days. Otherwise great app.!
This is an amazing piece of work. A must have for the stargazer. I love it!
This is literally exactly what I wanted. I had a Win-32 application that did some of what this thing does as my background, but this is way better. Most importantly, it's in my pocket. Love the drag-the-time feature. Clear that the author wanted to make the app usable above all else. Works on >= iOS 6 which is perfect for a Luddite like me. No dumb or useless features. All parameters manually settable. Perfect.
The mini skyline right in my hand ! So intuitive with great menus and settings !! So awesomely simple and functional. Would be nice to set an alarm for upcoming sidereal time, and full moon alerts. Great App man !
