Apple has that cool planetarium demo during the keynote and introduction of iPad Pro. I also noticed in the Apple store that iPad Pro has dynamic wallpaper of Jupiter, etc... Does anyone know where I can get that or was it the app? Thanks...

Not sure which app you're referring to specifically, but Skysafari is supposed to be really good. I have the Mac version, but haven't had chance to use it a whole lot yet. Planning on controlling my telescope with it, which the iOS version can do as well.

Yes, its Sky Guide, I was googling around looking for that very same app, probably for the same reason as the OP. I was very impressed with it, in the commercial.

Note that the first 18 seconds or so of the commercial are non-app graphics. I have Sky Guide and it is an excellent app but it does not have the over-the-top graphics displayed in the commercial.

The astronomy apps, including Skyguide, are fantastic on the Pro. If your really into this, this could easily justify the exorbitant price they are asking

Are you sure that what was shown in the demo is the same as the advert?
