Favorite Night Sky App: Google Sky

AN ASTRONOMY APP FOR THOSE ANDROID LOVERS OUT THERE!! 

Google Sky Map turns your Android-powered device in a window on the night sky. By using this application you can search for planets, grids, deep sky objects, and also use the search functionality to find something specific in the atmosphere.And the bonus is that is totally free.

I use this when i am just laying outside in the grass during nice summer nights, and i want to locate constellations and stars i have learned about in class or just want to find  because i heard about them.

I use it about once or twice a week when i am doing my night sky observations or for personal enjoyment! It's simple and easy to use! Uses GPS and compus data to be 100% accurate! 

YES i said it.......... FREE!!!! and free to do all the star and planet gazing you want!!!!! 

What i found: 

The Big Dipper

The Little Dipper

Polaris

The transit of Venus when it was behind the clouds 

Cassiopeia
