In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing, Carina Software is making available their SkyVoyager software available for free download from iTunes App Store. Normally this is a $15 USD product.

It is supposed to be a planetarium program for your iPod Touch or iPhone. Good for both beginners and advanced users. It contains 300,000 stars and 30,000 DSO’s in its database, provides NASA imagery, and shows the sky from any position on the Earth for any time from 100 years in the past to 100 years in the future.

Please note that this is only available for free on Mon Jul 20, 2009. I nor the HAA endorses or warranties it’s effectiveness, usefulness or availability. I’m just making you aware of this product. I don’t have an iPod Touch or iPhone, so I’m unable to download it or give it a try.

If you do download it and find it useful, you might consider writing a blog entry or a small review article for the Event Horizon.
