What are those icons in the corners/How do I change the time
While the Orrery allows you to change the time by dragging the Sun around and change the date by dragging the Zodiac ring around, you can specific an exact day/time by clicking on these icons:
  • Set the current time of the day
  • Set the current date
  • Return to the current date and time (this will automatically update as time passes)

How do I change what is shown in the Armillary?
Go to the iPhone's "Settings" application - you can configure the settings from there.
How do I zoom in/better view the Armillary
Initially, the Armillary shows the entire sky - obviously this can be a bit crowded on a small device. Double tapping will zoom in such that the horizon is at the bottom of the screen, and the zenith (directly overhead) is near the top. You can then use two fingers to "twist" the star map to rotate it.
What is coming in the next version
The next version includes these important features/bugfixes:
  • GMT correctly displayed
  • Outer planets added (controlled by a global preference setting)
  • Fixed problem with azimuth
