The Messier objects are a collection of 110 galaxies, nebulae and star clusters that are popular targets for amateur astronomers of all experience levels and binoculars or small telescopes. The Caldwell list includes 109 deep space objects and is a great next step after the Messier list. The Herschel 400 provides an even greater challenge for observing deep space objects.
The Astronomical League sponsors observing programs for the Messier, Caldwell and Herschel 400 objects. This app was designed to help you successfully complete any of these programs.
Even if you complete all the observing programs, with 1,570 objects in the app you should be able to enjoy years of searching the night sky.
Night Sky Guide can be used standalone or in conjunction with a sky atlas to star hop your way around the constellations. Spend less time trying to decide what to observe and more time observing!
Plus, Night Sky Guide is completely free, ad-free and open source!
