Moon Phase with Names of Craters

These apps have all the features of the regular iPad Calendar, with extras such as moon phases, eclipses, conjunctions, occultations and meteor showers! The apps are fully compatible with the iPad calendar, so that appointments and events can easily be transferred both ways. The apps also include numerous images that can feature as background to the calendar pages or can be viewed separately or saved to your photos. It’s worth having each for the photos alone! Other features:

• Daily time line featuring rise and set times of the Moon and planets.
• Special Moon chart with terminator line marked for the present day.
• Nightly moon phases on month view
• Summary of the year indicating best time to view the planets.

• Additional Star Maps show the planets in the pre-dawn and post-sunset sky, especially showing interesting conjunctions of the planets with the Moon.
