I'm sure there's many good ones,,certainly 'sky map' seems good . Works offline once loaded.

...a handy hint,,, the App relies on internal compass of a tablet,,, calibrating the compass is important,, the app will tell you if you need to. I was having great difficulty until I removed the ...--magnetic-- cover on my tablet!! <;~D

In my neck of the woods ( So. Ca. ) the blue moon is tonight the 31st.

Then once again in two months on March 31 st.

I believe that I'll play "Dark Star" from 8/27/72 Veneta, OR.

Wish I was , instead I was doing my time in Nam.

But a friend had bootleg live show recordings on cassettes that we would most enjoy in the lonely hours.
