Needs a help screen. I somehow got into a pan/zoom mode while touching the screen (drag a sqiggle ?), and have no idea how to get back to the normal view.

Ditto for pan left/right (it's not clear to use the bottom of the screen only).

An option for larger fonts, and normal english rather than 'azimoth' etc.

Gain a star because of the handy flash light features.

Helpful application with a lot of interesting information. Would it be possible for you to increase the font size, or is there some built in way to increase font size? It's so small that it is very hard to read. Also, it would be helpful for some explanation of what is meant by "deep sky observatories". Does this mean Hubble, etc.? Thanks!
