Add dampening to the program like Google Sky has. Right now the location jumps around.
@cpd and @joe
Please try the newest version 2.20+
It has a completely new sensor manager, which should reduce the jitter. Let me know otherwise.
Closing this idea for now.

Thanks cpd for the detailed report. The Azm jitter sounds bad. Did you get to try on another x10 mini pro unit?
I asked my friend who has a unit and he said it looks smooth. (He is not into astronomy so no more details from him). Will try to meet him and check it personally. But, will take some time.

Results using version 1.0, lowest sensitivity on acc. and mag., “8” figure and g-sensor calibration done.
1) X10 mini pro “A”, Android 2.1:
Stars at the border of the screen revolving 8/9 pixels around the Nadir. Alt. in the [-087.5, -087.7] range, Azm in the [295,298] range.2) X10 (the big one), Android 2.1:
Maybe a little less movement than number (1).Tomorrow I may have the results from another X10 mini pro unit. Thanks.

Thanks cpd. About the jumpiness, I will try to test on an XPeria when I get the chance.
The screenshot on my site is a bit old. The calibration option should be visible when u click the "more" button.
The "night mode" is only available on Android 2.2+

Hey Harshad, great App! Yes, I did try different settings, to no avail. Also, my screen is different from the ones on your site. There is no "calibration" and "night mode" buttons. Thanks from Brazil.
