StarWalk with iPod Touch Camera

From Ms. Sonntag...
"My students love star walk and they are always on it, but sometimes the camera gets activated when they are using it.  That makes it hard to see what is on the "sky" and we could never figure out why it happens.  A student and I were investigating this problem this morning and realized that when you flip the ipod upside down facing the ground and quickly turn it back to its normal position, it turns on the camera.  The app then allows you to overlay the app sky over the real sky if you were really outside at night." Is that wild or what. Keep it coming app developers!
