before buying skysafari (plus or pro) i would like some clarification. I have a celestron C8 nexstar, an android smartphone and a macbook air M1. I want to use skysafari to prepare my observations (on mac) and pilot my telescope (with my smartphone), My questions: 1) if I buy a mac book air compatible version of skysafari plus, do I also have to buy the paid version for the android smartphone? Or is one purchase enough to get paid versions on both platforms? 2) skysafari pro 7 does not seem compatible mac book air M1 like previous versions? Am I right? Thank you for your advice.

Keiron Smith Phillipe,
At this time, only SS6 is available for MacOS.
SS6 and SS7 will sync data via LiveSky (free - no subscription required).
SkySafari must be purchased separately for each different OS: iOS, MacOS, Android.
Thanks!

Keiron Smith Starry Night was developed for desktop - Mac and Windows.
SkySafari was developed for mobile devices - iOS and Android.
There is a lot of overlap.
Starry Night is 25 years in the making, very deep, planetarium style astronomy software with incredible graphics.
SkySafari is the #1 mobile app for telescope control and visual astronomy.
If you're asking which one is for you ask, first, do you want desktop or mobile telescope control.
Thanks!
