Is there an app for phone or iPod that really helps locate or identify objects in the sky in real time? Not something like Starry Night, I mean something that works like the SkyScout (with arrows to go there)? Unfortunately though I have no phone or iPod. I usually use emails or Skype to talk...
I could need a new iPod though as the battery of my current mp3 player is going flat very quick now after a few years of use so I would have to buy something new soon anyway.
