A whole sky to explore.
Preparing offline access…
YOUR WINDOW INTO THE SKY
Drag to look around. Pinch to zoom.
Never look directly at the Sun. Shadow-based aiming is approximate.
Align to an object
Choose the Sun, Moon, Polaris (North Star), a planet, or another bright star you can identify in the real sky. This corrects the compass direction; your phone still measures tilt.
Or use a known direction
Face a known direction and point the back of your phone at the horizon. Choose that direction to align the compass.
Gathering the stars…
