Possibly I just find the Stellarium app* a bit OTT whereas SkEye seems to get the important stuff without the pretty wallpaper. The developer is also quick to respond to requests so I have gone in that direction.

* The desktop version is superb however.

I have got skeye on my phone not really tried it , I think I will start to use it more

Wow looks good wish I could get mine that good 

Was a good day I looked with my bresser 127  and Lacerta wedge 

Pm wookie1965 he sent me loads of lists of doubles really nice guy 

Can't you do the same with stellariaum , I do polar alignment day time , I ask stellariaum to show me Polaris and line mount up to the pointer arrow in stellariaum
