## What is Alpha for Astronomy?

Alpha for Astronomy is an all-in-one app for astronomy planning. It combines a database of over 2000 objects, including the eight major planets and the Moon, with weather forecasting and observational calculation services. Trees or buildings obscuring your view? No problem! Alpha for Astronomy features "degree filtering" to tell you what times an object is a certain angle above the horizon or within a range of bearing.
