get a cloudy looking screen. Maybe I have a setting wrong. And yeah, I only 
use it indoors too as it’s been tooo cold since I came across the program to 
go outside at night LOL...Chuck

I can't see one single drawback in this. As it's using its compass, GPS,
accelerometer and gyroscope, you don't need clear nights (or nights for
that matter). You don't even have to go outside. I bet it was a Swede
who made it, somewhere between December and February. LOL

Like you, we have not experienced the snow we expected but it has been raining 
since last night and the weather outlook is for more rain for the next 7 days 
which doesn’t help the river fishing. The higher elevations no doubt did get 
snow.

Got my son and partner from the airport with no problem except for the 
interminable wait for the baggage to be made available for pick-up and the fact 
that I couldn’t exit the parking despite making payment, but that’s another 
story.
So it looks like I will have to tie flies to keep my sanity.

Donna: I know what ya mean. It’s been raining for days here, so we haven’t been 
able to see it very clearly either. That’s it’s only drawback. Nut on a clear 
night, it’s amazing, Chuck

d/l’d it to our Kindle Fire’s)  and is amazing to us, It’s called “Star Chart”, 
is free, and can be downloaded here   
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.escapistgames.starchart  You 
can see all the stars and constellations above and around you as well as being 
able to point if down to see the stars, constellations etc on the other side of 
the earth from you, the southern hemisphere (assuming you live in the Northern 
one and vise versa). Our grand daughters really love it as well as you can 
“pinch and expand” the screen for a closer look and get info that will pop up 
telling you how many light yrs that certain star (or planet etc) is away from 
us and so on. Pretty amazing what they can do these days with apps. The above 
app has links to other similar apps as well, Chuck
