The live sky, over your camera

Aim at the sky in FotoNoa

You lift your phone and see where everything is, day or night, drawn over what you're looking at. It's how you frame in the afternoon what you'll be photographing before dawn.

What it has

• Planets and constellations over the real landscape
• Nebulae and galaxies with their position and altitude
• Satellites passing overhead right then
• The arc of the Milky Way drawn across the sky

How to use Aim at the sky

It's the same help you get inside the app. In case you want to read it before downloading, or out in the field with barely any signal.

1. 1Give it camera permission

   It asks the first time. If it's off, the screen says so, with a button that takes you straight to your phone's settings.

2. 2Fine-tune north

   Your phone's compass is off by a few degrees. Center something you recognize in the crosshair —the Moon, the Sun, Venus— and tap its name: the whole sky snaps into place.

3. 3Search for something

   The search box takes you to any object in the catalog. If it's below the horizon, it tells you what time it rises.

4. 4«When does it pass here?»

   Aim at a point in the landscape and tap the object. It tells you what day and what time it will pass right through there.

5. 5Night mode

   Turns everything red so you keep your night vision. The moon button switches it on.

6. 6Take the photo to share

   The camera button merges what the lens sees with the drawn sky. You get a single image, ready to send.
