SkyMate understands your sky, conditions, equipment and surroundings to show you what you can actually observe — and guides you to it.
Explore SkyMateAbove the horizon after dark
Clouds, haze, moonlight and city glow change what’s worth looking for. SkyMate weighs them for your exact spot and gives you a short list and a time to go out.
Your location is only used on this page, at city level, and isn’t stored.
You don’t need to know a single constellation. Tap Show me something and SkyMate picks a target worth seeing tonight. Then an arrow, a number and a gentle tap you can feel guide your phone until it’s right in front of you.
Most sky maps label everything at once. SkyMate starts with what you can see from here, with what you have with you, and adds detail as you zoom in.
Example for a clear night at a moderately dark site. SkyMate recalculates for your sky and saved equipment.
Sweep your phone around your balcony, garden or favorite spot once. SkyMate remembers the rooftops, trees and hills in the way.
SkyMate understands daylight, twilight and night, 24 hours a day. Open it at lunch and it tells you what’s up there now and what tonight will bring.
Start with a planet. Keep going and you’ll reach its moons, the stars beyond and the strangest objects we know of. SkyMate is always clear about what you can see and what you can only point toward.
SkyMate puts tonight’s best targets in an order that works: each one high, clear of your horizon and right for your equipment when you get to it.
Most of SkyMate runs on the device, so it works in a field with no signal. It goes online for things that change.
