Ratings and Reviews
Just what I needed!
Had completely failed to find the comet (even with good binoculars) as it was so faint by the time we had good enough weather for it to be worth looking for it … but between this app and taking long exposure photos on my camera I was able to find it!
Thanks for making this useful app!
Thank you for making this app available
I am looking forward to searching for the comet in the sky with my 2 sons. This will make it much easier.
Aha!
Thank you for this handy little app. I managed to locate the Comet last night and felt quietly impressed with myself. But obviously it was all down to this splendid application.
