For those updating from version 2.1 Scope Nights 2.2 is a free update which includes iOS9 & 64-bit support, updated dark sky sites, bug fixes and improvements. Here’s a list of the changes...

• NEW - Full iOS9 compatibility
The iOS9 operating system causes Scope Nights 2.1 to crash on startup, so Scope Nights 2.2 has been refactored to work with iOS9.

• NEW - 64-bit support
Much of the code has been refactored to make Scope Nights a 64-bit app, resulting in performance improvements for 64-bit devices.

• NEW - Dark Sky Sites
The Dark Sky Locations Upgrade includes a new list of IDA dark sky places and new map marker filters for observatories and dark sky sites.

• FIX - General bug fixes & improvements
Minor bug fixes and improvements have also been made to improve functionality and usability.

If you enjoy using Scope Nights and find it useful, please recommend this version of Scope Nights to others by giving a good rating in the App Store, as it helps to ensure Scope Nights is developed further and keeps getting better!



Thanks for your support,

Scope Nights 2.1 includes new feature requests and bug fixes, plus a high resolution light pollution map designed to help you find local dark sky sites with the best stargazing forecasts. Here’s a list of the changes...

• NEW - iOS8 and iPhone 6 compatibility

• NEW - Stargazing Forecasts For Multiple Scope Sites

With Scope Nights 2.1 you can now get stargazing forecasts for multiple locations or "Scope Sites" as this was the most requested new feature. To change locations you'll need to edit your Scope Sites. You can do this in the Scope Sites page, where you can add, delete or re-order your Scope Sites.

In the Scope Nights page the first location is always your current location and the other stargazing forecasts will be your Scope Sites, and you can swipe the forecasts to move between each site.

The basic version of Scope Nights now gives you stargazing forecasts for your current location plus any other Scope Site, and with the Dark Sky Locations upgrade you can view and compare stargazing forecasts for up to five Scope Sites.

• NEW - Dark Sky Locations Upgrade

This new upgrade lets you add more Scope Sites and there’s a new screen showing the best Scope Sites for each night, along with a dark sky map to help people get away from something just as bad as cloudy skies… light pollution!

• NEW - Night, Evening or Morning Coverage

This is another requested feature that I’ve added to the Astronomer’s Weather Settings. Not everyone can spend all night stargazing so this new setting enables the coverage to be changed to All Night, Evening or Morning. This should give you more relevant nightly summary ratings.

• FIX - Fixed & Improved Astronomy Forecasts

I’ve fixed the global astronomy forecasts to cope with the changes by the weather service provider, and also improved the way in which forecasts are displayed in the app. Each forecast now has a flag to show the source of the weather data. This is useful for those who have applied a national astronomy weather upgrade, so you can see if the forecast is national or global.

• FIX - Bug Fixes & Improvements

Much of the code behind the scenes as been refactored to cope with iOS8. I’ve also ironed out a few bugs so you’ll hopefully find the app easier to use and have added a link to the online help & support to make it easier to find help articles.

If you enjoy Scope Nights 2.1 please take a moment to rate and review in the App Store as it really helps me to keep developing the app.

Please Note, if updating from a previous version… In order to fund further development some existing features are now included as part of paid upgrades, but they also include many new features as listed above within the free update to version 2.0. Without adding a small charge for the more advanced features I could not afford to develop the app any further.
