Why We Built AstraView
As amateur astronomers ourselves, we’ve experienced the frustration of planning to observe an object only to find it hidden behind trees or buildings when it should be “up.” Standard astronomy apps tell you when objects are above the mathematical horizon, but that’s rarely your actual horizon.
AstraView was born from a simple idea: what if your astronomy app knew about the trees in your backyard?
Part of the AltAz Labs Family
AstraView is developed by AltAz Labs, creators of astronomy tools designed by observers, for observers. Our suite of apps covers everything from satellite tracking to meteor shower planning.
Our Mission
We believe everyone should be able to enjoy the night sky. Our tools make astronomy more accessible by helping you make the most of your observing time—whether you have a dark sky paradise or a light-polluted suburban backyard.
