Yes, with 3 specific tasks in mind.

First, I can now control my observatory from anywhere I can get a phone signal. Yes you could do it with a smart phone but lets face it you need a reasonable sized screen to do it.

Second, I have Starmap HD (I have Starmap Pro on my iPod Touch). It's a planetorium type app for the iPad and a very good app in my opinion.

Third, Astroplanner will most likely have an iPad version some time inthe future. I use Astroplanner as the planner for all my Minor Planet work.

Cheers
