Personalized astronomy recommendations based on your location, equipment, and tonight's sky conditions. AstraView tells you exactly what's worth observing tonight.
The difference? Other apps assume a perfect 360-degree view. AstraView accounts for your actual horizon—the trees, buildings, and terrain that block your view—so you only see objects you can actually observe.
Your Horizon Matters
Other apps assume a flat horizon at 0 degrees. AstraView accounts for the trees, buildings, and terrain that actually block your view. Trace your real horizon using AR, draw it manually, or use presets—and save multiple profiles for different observing spots.
Interactive Sky Map
A full-screen, zoomable star chart that shows exactly where everything is. Scrub through time to plan your session, switch to AR mode, and see your horizon overlay so you know what's blocked before you set up.
Astronomy Weather
Cloud cover is the enemy of stargazing. AstraView provides forecasts designed specifically for astronomers—observing quality ratings, optimal clear-sky windows, and multi-location comparison across your saved sites.
Widgets
Get tonight's conditions without opening the app. Home screen widgets show your top recommendations and conditions summary in small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes.
Deep Object Information
Tap any object for detailed information and planning data—high-resolution imagery for popular objects, rise/transit/set times adjusted for your horizon, and visibility windows for your location.
Equipment Profiles
See what’s observable with your specific gear. Pre-configured profiles for naked eye, binoculars, and various telescope types. Custom equipment with aperture, focal length, and field of view. Recommendations ranked by what you can actually see.
Privacy First
Your location and observation data stays on your device. No account required, no tracking, no data collection.
Why I Built This
From my backyard I can see north, south, and overhead—but trees and my house block everything to the east and west. My driveway opens up the eastern sky but loses the south. Every app I tried ignored this reality and showed me objects I could never actually see.
So I built AstraView. Set up a horizon profile for each spot, and the app tells you what's visible from where you're actually standing. My backyard profile and my driveway profile give me different recommendations for the same night—because they should.
