SkEye

A map of stars, planets, meteor showers, galaxies and nebulae.

SkEye is a planetarium that can also be used as a PUSHTO guide for telescopes.

Get familiar with the sky by identifying stars, planets, and constellations. For the dedicated sky-gazers there are meteor showers, bright comets and deep sky objects from the Messier and NGC catalogs.

If you have a telescope, just strap the phone onto the OTA to get a PUSHTO guide!
