Elemental, thanks a lot for making this available.

Played with it quickly, and found the following:
- big question: I got to the point where I'm zoomed in to FoV 1.94%, how to zoom out? And how did I manage to zoom in?
- indeed, the UI should be improved to be usable;
up to there it's enough for me to donate. If you have PP, I'd say it's about 5 euros here.

However, I agree with the feature requests:
- use magnetic and level sensors to get orientation -- but ON DEMAND only! Let's not forget that Stellarium is a whole lot more than Google Sky Map, and one of the things that I don't like is that to look at something with Sky Map, you have to hold it in that direction, then zoom in, keep holding it there (in the worst case, all the way above your head...), etc... So please let there be a switch that toggles to not follow the actualy direction the device is pointing!
- in case you add a link to your own PP account or donate page (which I think you should), also a link to the stellarium donate link (see post above)

Additional 5 euros at this point, from my side.

BTW any donations from my side require that the app is downloadable for free, and GPL. Conditions which are already met in this case, at least at the moment.


On a side remark, to get rid of the VKB, just slide it down. When using swype, first switch to non swype kb (slide sideways at key level, not above at app level), then slide that one out of view.
Or the alternative, slide to the left to push the app to background, then go back to it (silly workaround that I found once, before I realized the VBK can be slid down).
