Both YouTube guide videos have had their channel banned

Seems like a good app but hard to understand when the instructions are nowhere to be found

Response from developer

That is the problem. All the videos are gone when google decide to ban it. I think you can get it from irandar YouTube at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm0JMY9dAxc

This app helped me finally see Saturn

I am a total novice with a telescope I couldn’t even get the moon in my scope at first. But I kept showing up and struggling and trying new things. One thing that seems too be very popular is astrohopper. I’m sure it’s great but I cannot get the hang of it. I saw a few people recommend this app so I figured it was worth a try. Something else I decided to try was a Rigel quickfinder. This combination really made the difference. I know the app is supposed to replace a finder scope but I needed both and now I’m finally starting to find a few things. I look forward to getting better at this.
