AstraView

What to observe tonight

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad

Personalized astronomy recommendations based on your location, equipment, and tonight's sky conditions. AstraView transforms stargazing from guesswork into discovery. Whether you're a curious beginner with binoculars or an experienced observer with a telescope, AstraView tells you exactly what to look at and when. SMART RECOMMENDATIONS, NOT JUST DATA Every night, AstraView analyzes your specific situation—where you are, what equipment you have, what's blocking your view, and what you're interested in—then ranks celestial objects so you know what's truly worth observing. No more wondering if that galaxy is visible from your backyard or whether your telescope can resolve that nebula. YOUR HORIZON MATTERS Other apps assume a perfect 360-degree view. AstraView lets you capture your actual horizon using AR or a quick manual setup. Trees blocking the east? House to the south? AstraView accounts for it, only recommending objects you can actually see from where you stand. POINT AND DISCOVER Activate AR mode and point your iPhone at the sky. The interactive star map shows exactly what's above you in real-time as you move your device. Scrub through time to see where objects will be later tonight. WEATHER BUILT FOR ASTRONOMY Cloud cover is the enemy of stargazing. AstraView provides astronomy-specific weather forecasts that identify your best observing windows—those precious clear-sky periods when conditions are right. MULTIPLE SITES, ONE APP Save different observing locations with their own equipment setups and horizon profiles. Compare visibility across sites to choose where to observe tonight.
