Field notes
The page lays out a sequence: trace the observing spot’s skyline, rank targets for the location and telescope, then check target positions against that horizon on the phone. It also describes an on-device Darkroom for telescope images, with a comparison of an NGC 281 JPG and FITS stack; the page says the tool is tuned on DWARF 3 stacks but accepts other FITS files, PNG, and JPG. The app itself is marked as coming soon.
