Dear astrophotographers and star gazers

What app are you using to notify you when you have clear skies at night in your current location so you can take your shots? Preferably android.

The Heart Nebula
=============

For some reason, I keep coming back to this object. I just love all of those fine details in the heart nebula and it's neighbour, the fish head nebula.

In the center of the heart nebula, there's a small open cluster of stars, called Melotte 15. These stars are responsible for the ionization of the surrounding gas, making it glow in the characteristic red hue of hydrogen alpha emissions.

The fish head nebula, also known as IC 1795, is a bright emission nebula, located in the same star-forming region as the heart nebula. It's a bit fainter than its neighbour, but still shows a lot of fine details.

A few hours in my back garden last Monday/Tuesday with (relatively) clear skies and the chance to play at being an #astrophotographer. It's been months since I've been able to do this. The results aren't world-shaking, but that's OK ... for now
M81 & M82 galaxies, M42 nebula, M1 nebula.
