DSS Browser for iPhone

Just thought I'd give peeps a bit of a heads up.

There's a new iPhone app for astronomers called "DSS Browser". It allows you to download and cache multiple catalogue images from the DSS website and then view them on your iPhone.

It has a night mode for on the field viewing and is really useful for identifying the correct object in your eyepiece.

I've used it already (even during the day just to browse the images) and it's been really helpful.
