I've used SkySafari on Android and Apple products, but my laptop is a Windows 10 unit. While I have Starry Night Pro Plus 7 (I believe this is also one of your products) it is an inferior product to your SkySafari program. Will a windows version ever be released?

  Brian,

  I wouldn't count on a Windows version anytime soon.  It would be a substantial effort to port the code to Windows and we would end up competing with our own Starry Night.  However, it is not out of the question and we have discussed the possibility.

  Some folks are running an Android emulator (such as Bluestacks) on Windows and then running the Android version in it.  I have heard this works surprisingly well.

  Thanks for your feedback.  It will help us in planning for the future.

  200% agree that Starry Night is an interior product to Sky Safari, especially with the new features of SS6. Is there a way to run SS on a Raspberry Pi?
