Helpful iPhone app which tells you what your pointing it at
I have found a very handy app some other noobs like me might love it's called
Gotosky app it is amazing it is a 3d map of the stars planets etc I used it to make sure I was looking at Jupiter the other night
All you do is move your phone around in the air pointing at planets or constellations and the phone will say and show on the screen that your on it. Very helpful to learn the stars etc
I've added a photo to help show what I mean.
I've aimed my phone at Saturn just as a demo. Saturn shows up in a big circle
