See the planets in first frame!

I can’t get the planets visibility chart off the main screen. There’s no clear cut way to remove that chart!

Useful App

This is basically a pocket planisphere for your phone. I find it a lot clearer to read than most of the augmented reality apps, yet it still contains detail (DSOs, galaxies etc). It has a hand red-light function for viewing at night. Two quid is a bit steep for what it does, but a paper planisphere would cost you around £7, so it's well worth the money just to have it with you all of the time. Could do with some more useful details like Messier tables or a star-hopping guide.
