Being more knowledgeable on things more than others, doesn't mean you have to act like an ass.

It's embarrassing.

When i was a kid, I used those little cardboard callender sky map things, they worked by rotating the wheel in the center in correspondence with the date.

I love my iphone for the space apps, it's great knowing exactly what your looking at in th night sky.

Correct me if I am wrong , but I think you are talking about a planisphere

That's my favoret star finder tool too !

Call me crazzy , but there is something very sextant and sundialish about the old mechanical way of finding out what's up

No need to be embarrassed. It's not your problem.

But really, it's worth the effort to learn the sky. Pick a constellation while you're indoors then turn off your phone and go see if you can find it. Consider it a challenge. Learning one a night is easy and it beats Angry Birds all to hell.

Thanks for the info.

Sometimes I wake up grumpy.

Sometimes I just let Phage sleep...

How right you are .

To look up and to be able to reconize a constellation is a great feeling indeed !

yeah thats it. I had to "google image" it, as it's been so long since i used one
I guess it's the same as photography, I 'm teaching my kids on an analogue camera before they use a digital.
somtimes technology makes things too easy and you dont actually learn anything.

I dont mean anything negative to the op. The sky aps for phones are amazing, I love knowing what satilite im watching cross the sky.
I use "Sky view" and the "SOHO" app is also good.
