    Ricardo,

    If you search for Triton using the Search field, do you not find the satellite?   How are you trying to see the name?  Fo me it is displaying on the chart when I zoom in on it.

    What version of SkySafari 5 do you have (basic, Plus or Pro)?  The basic version is mainly for casual naked eye and binocular observers.  It will not have many telescopic objects.

    We have considered adding some subset of the UCAC4 catalog.  The problem is that on mobile devices, storage is at a premium.  That database might take 10-15 GB of data.  We are continuing to look into it.

    Hola tengo la versión 5 pro y uso un iPod touch 5 con ios9, pero no muestra los nombres de las características físicas de tritón, solo en este satélite tengo este problema, en otros como "europa" "io" si muestra las características de tritón, supuestamente esta activada esta función: settings>solar system>with surfaces label. ¿podrían revisarlo? ¡muchas gracias! ------------------ 

    Hi I have versión 5 pro and I use an iPod touch with ios9, but does not show the names of the physical characteristics of triton, in this satellite only I have this problem, in others such as "Europe", "io" if it displays the characteristics of triton, supposedly this enabled this function: settings>solar system>with surfaces label. Could you review it? Thanks a lot! *********

    I spoke with Tim, the person that implemented the "planet features" code.  This is what he said:

    "It's because the database of surface features that USGS puts out lacks any size information - this is an oversight for Triton only! - so our code assumes they're all zero size, so we never draw any labels.  Maybe we draw them if you're mega zoomed in.  I'm astonished anyone besides me ever noticed this problem.  I complained about it to USGS a year ago and they never wrote back."

    Yo esperare una nueva actualización de la versión 5 pro para que corrijan este problema? de Tritón?. Ustedes podrían tener como descarga opcional el "UCAC4 catalog" no importa si tiene muchos gigabytes de almacenamiento de información. ahora existen iphones de 64, 124,  248 Gb       -------------------------------------       

    I wait a new update of the 5 pro version so that they correct this problem? from Triton?. You could have as optional download the "UCAC4 catalog" no matter if you have many gigabytes of storage. now there are iphones 64, 124, 248 Gb

    We can't easy fix the Triton problem until the USGS gives us size information.  It will probably come eventually.

    We will continue to look into something like the UCAC4 catalog for a "Pro Plus" version.  

    Thanks for your comments
