Excellent App

Just what I was looking for, a digital planisphere for planning my evening’s astronomy sessions. I use it with other digital star chart apps. I look at this app first in order to see the constellations that will be in my sky view areas on my property in the evening. I just like the simplicity of turning the time/date dial with my finger to see what is available to my telescope. Thanks for creating this app!!

Optimized for 35°N

Great interface, fun app, useful for quick Sky planning throughout the year

The only thing that would make it better is if they supported more latitudes: it’s currently optimized for the latitude of the planetarium that produced the app, so is most useful if you live between 30°N and 40°N latitude.
