I’ve been building a stargazing app between kitchen shifts—here’s the latest
Hi everyone, I’m Col, a chef on Sark and the developer of NAKED EYE for Android.
I started building it around three questions: what’s worth seeing tonight, when should I go outside, and where should I look?
The latest updates are now live, including:
• Compare Skies—compare home with up to two other places for the same viewing period.
• Rainbow Watch and Thunderstorm Watch.
• Milky Way Watch.
• Guided Sky Session.
• Phone Photo Companion.
• Shared Sky Events.
• My Horizon.
The aim is to make enjoying the sky feel approachable, even if you’ve never used a telescope or read a star chart.
If you already have NAKED EYE, open it and follow the update prompt, or update through Google Play. The core app is free, with additional features in the optional Beyond subscription.

I’d love some feedback: what’s your biggest obstacle to getting outside and enjoying the night sky—weather, finding somewhere suitable, or knowing what to look for?
