Well I have gone and had a look at Skeye and of the programs I have seen it is not bad. Red light is actually really dim. Will have to test the accuracy on a scope but still have a couple of concerns which others may answer.
Firstly it didn't like being anywhere near metallic or electronic objects. Metal tubes, dew heaters and batteries are often found on scopes. Secondly it would have to be very securely fastened as you are navigating by pushing on the screen. Velcro would likely result in it moving and losing alignment. Thirdly, if you only have a small phone it is going to be hard to use when tired and cold.
Fourthly the catalogue is very limited, only 194 NGC objects.
Anyway the idea seems sound.
