Just found TheSky HD for iPad by Software Bisque (http://www.bisque.com/sc/pages/TheSkyiOS.aspx)on iTunes at a listed price of $5.49 but introductory price of $4.99. Looking at the "Features” blurb, I cannot see any reference to “Telescope Control” so this looks like a pure planetarium app only?
Features
Simulate the sky for any date from year 1900 through 2200 A.D.
Identify the planets, stars, and thousands of other interesting objects with a tap
Show you the most interesting objects that are visible tonight
Label stars, planets, deep space objects
Find and identify the eighty-eight constellations (with "stick figures or detailed photo-overlays)
View satellites
Predict upcoming Iridium flares for your location
Show you fascinating photographs of astronomical objectss
Locate astronomical conjunctions
Show you the Milky Way galaxy
Accelerate time to simulate planetary motion
View Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagrams for stars
Cheers
Dennis
