Sky View 2.0

Stop searching.
Start looking.

The SkyPulse navigator calculates the local position of the Moon, planets, and selected targets. Turn toward the indicated direction, tilt your phone – and the sky becomes understandable.

✓ Live azimuth and compass direction
✓ Phone tilt from horizon to zenith
✓ Real position for your location and time
✓ Clear left, right, up, and down guidance

Built honestly: Sky View 2.0 is the existing compass navigator. A camera or AR overlay belongs to a later development branch.
