    Anyone know of a star gazing app that works well for and Android phone? There seems to be quite a few out there and it looks like the more you pay, the better it is supposed to work. Im looking for something that works OK for free, lol

    I use Sky View and have had no issues with it. It’s free:

    Ive used Skyview in the past and it was fine for me. The Perseid meteor showers are supposed to happen tonight BTW.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I will give them a shot this weekend when camping. I did see that the peak of the meteor shower is Saturday and Sunday too

    Star Tracker is awesome, super intuitive and easy to use. I highly recommend it. It overlays constellations too waytogo

    Me and the boys all fight over who gets the hold the phone on a clear night while camping or in the backyard around the fire.
