I’m looking around for a star guide for an Android smartphone, to go beyond basics without plunging straight into great technical depths. In particular, I want something that is practical in the dark and without internet connection, and not coffee-table photos or ancient Greek asterisms and their mythology.
At the moment I’m more interested in deep-sky than satellites or ISS. I have only small binoculars, no telescope of my own. It would be good to have an app that works well with CAS observatory equipment.
My smartphone is a Motorola G4 Plus, with fairly standard Android 7.0. It has GPS, so it knows where it is, but I don’t think it has a magnetometer/compass, so it doesn’t know where it’s pointing, but I’m prepared to work on that for myself.
Any recommendations or favourites? A topic to warm up this evening’s soapbox discussions? Sorry if I can’t make it.
Stellarium and sky safari are both great and each has their strengths. I recommend both
(Also see conversation under Astro-photography topic. I will add recently gained information to that one.)
