OW Mobile

OccultWatcher helps amateur astronomers stay updated with incoming events where an asteroid passes in front of a star for a period from a second to more than a minute, making the star disappear completely or dim during the event. The scientific term for these events is asteroidal occultations.

OW Mobile is a mobile client that compliments the desktop version of OccultWatcher (OW) and an existing OW account is required to use OW Mobile.

In the current version OW Mobile lists the user's My Events and provides details for each of them including:

- Event parameters such as date and time of the event; maximum duration and magnitude drop; star, moon and sun altitude

- Information about the star, including coordinates, designation and magnitudes

- Information about the asteroid such as type, diameter and rotational parameters

- Information about other observer's positions

- Weather forecast for all announced stations

Event reminders are also provided on your device.
