Finder apps...
I am fairly new to astronomy and want to maximise observation time. My scope is manual other than a clock drive and I want to find an easy way to get close to targets i.e. Within about 2deg so I can then zoom in using eyepieces. A search reveals several different possibilities
1) Skeye
2) clinometer and compass
I have an older Android phone which can be strapped onto the scope to give readouts of RA DEC or Alt Az.
Would anyone care to share their views on this method?
