Star Walk 2 – explore the sky like never before
I have a confession to make: I don’t actually use a planisphere to identify astronomical objects. I can, but it’s much easier to just use an app. Specifically, Star Walk 2. This easy-to-use mobile app for both iOS and Android allows you to simply point your phone at the sky to identify celestial objects. The basic version is free-with-ads, and the add-ons can be yours for only $5.99.
There are other excellent entry-level star gazing apps too, like SkEye, and SkyView, but if you want to move on to more “professional” level app, SkySafari 7 has a huge database, the ability to connect to your telescope, and a ton of other features for a relatively modest price of $26.99.
