Best ANDROID app for scope position

Recommended Posts

I intend to use my old smartphone as a digital finder on my dob.

I have thought about Wixey's and setting circles but hope that I can use the tools I have to hand and simple attach the mobile.

My old car phone older works when attached to the tube so this is not the problem.

What I hope to obtain is the best ANDROID app which shows a field of view which can be altered so I can tell what I am lined up with in the eyepiece.

Sky Safari seems to have this but is it only in the PRO version etc - this is not cheap so I do not want to waste my money.

Cheers.

Skyeye pro.

The main problem might be interference from the metals on the magnetic positioning.

It has a push to go to ability. Check out the free version first to see if you like the style. I got it to find a comet a year or two back but it was cloudy the whole holiday so never tested it for alignment and goto.
