TRACK THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Follow the Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn with a live arc overlay showing each object's full path across the sky tonight. Rise and set times update in real time based on your precise location.
110 MESSIER DEEP-SKY OBJECTS IN AR
Activate Hot Targets mode and see every Messier object currently above your horizon floating in the AR view — galaxies, nebulae, open clusters, and globular clusters, each colour-coded by type.
Tap any label to open a detail card showing:
• Object type and Messier catalogue number
• Common name (Andromeda Galaxy, Orion Nebula, Pleiades…)
• Current altitude above the horizon
• Apparent visual magnitude
• Recommended instrument — naked eye, binoculars, or telescope
• Favourite toggle, saved across sessions
When objects cluster together, a single tap fans them out radially so you can reach each one individually.
FILTER BY OBJECT TYPE
Narrow the Hot Targets overlay to just galaxies, just nebulae, or just star clusters with a single tap. Objects you've starred appear in your Nightly Overview for quick access every session.
FREEZE THE SKY
Long-press anywhere to lock the entire AR view — overlays and camera image — as a still frame. Perfect for star parties, sketching, or sharing a screenshot. Tap once to unfreeze.
NIGHTLY OVERVIEW
Open the Tonight sheet for a full list of rise, transit, and set times for all solar system objects plus your Messier favourites, sorted for the coming night at your location.
WORKS WITHOUT FULL PERMISSIONS
No camera access? Horizon-AR switches to a star-field background with altitude rings and an azimuth grid so you can still explore the sky. Declined location? Enter coordinates manually and continue without interruption.
No account. No subscription. No ads.
Privacy: your location and camera data never leave your device.
