Altitude above 9999m causes no horizon display.

When the app launches and uses the GPS to populate the lat/long and altitude, the horizon will not display above 9999 meters. Common airline flight altitudes are all above this, and passengers and pilots who enjoy the app are left disoriented without a horizon. Can you please make it work up to 15000 meters?

  Hi Paul, 

  Starry Night and SkySafari are not developed for use on airplanes.  Our software is developed specificall for land based visual observers and advanced telescope control.

  Thanks!

  Wow!!  What an answer! 

  Did you know that after ships, celestial navigation was performed from airplanes using bubble sextants?  Put the fix in the que.
