In simple terms, that means black stars on a white background. Some of us prefer to have an 'inverse monochrome' sky when planning our observing sessions. In this section, I'll share some of the basic settings that will help you get the most from it.

For example, we could zoom into a patch of sky just a degree wide if we needed to. If we were to zoom in, these dimensions would shrink. In the case below, centred around Cygnus, the screen area is 47.8° wide and 59.0° deep. The final figure in the status bar, at the right of the screen shows the area of sky we are looking at. The left hand side shows the centre of the screen is 269.9° west and at an altitude of +86.9° above the horizon (it would show a negative number if we were seeing below the horizon). The line below, with the blue text, shows details about the sky view itself. On the right hand side of the top line is the date and time of the screenshot, in this case it is Wed 02 August, 2017 at 0100. Main screen of sky safari 5 showing status bar (click to zoom)

If you have the equipment (and are so inclined) Sky Safari 5 can be set to control your telescope, pointing it at any object you select with the software.
