Sky Scry

Sky Scry turns your phone into a window on the night sky. Hold it up and the live camera view fills with the Sun, Moon, planets, stars and constellations, each placed where it really is using your device’s orientation and location. When your target is out of frame, an arrow points the way.

WHAT YOU CAN SEE • The Sun and Moon: rise and set times, Moon phase, illuminated fraction and distance • All eight planets, Mercury through Neptune, with brightness and position • Around 8,900 stars to magnitude 6.5 from the HYG catalogue • The 88 constellations, with figure lines, names and mythology • The 110 Messier deep-sky objects (galaxies, nebulae and clusters), with type, magnitude and notes • 14 major moons of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune

TOOLS FOR OBSERVING • A cloud-aware visibility score that blends altitude, Moon phase and live cloud cover • Search across every object: bodies, named and Bayer stars, constellations, moons and Messier numbers • Reference overlays: ecliptic, celestial equator, meridian, horizon and a coordinate grid • Time travel: scrub forward and back to preview the sky at any moment • Night mode: a red filter that protects your dark adaptation • True-north correction for accurate alignment

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Everything is computed on your device. The only thing that ever leaves your phone is your approximate location, sent to Open-Meteo to fetch local cloud cover, and nothing else.

Point it up and start exploring.
