Skyview App

There are a lot of cool phone apps out there but no phone is complete without a good sky viewing app!  There's not need to carry around a paper sky map when you have your phone.  I encourage you to check out the Skyview app and install it on your phone.

Skyview App

This app is a great way to find objects in your night sky and it's free!  There's also a night viewing mode that changes the light from your phone screen to a red color where your eyes are less sensitive.  Although it's not harmful to your eyes, flooding them with light in the dark prevents you from seeing dimmer objects in the sky.  You have to wait each time for your eyes to adjust and that's no fun.  

So check out this app and see if you like it.  Again, every phone needs a good sky viewing app for those times you're outside and take a few moments to view the night sky!
