Any star gazers out there? If so can anyone recommend a good app on a iPad that I can get that I can point at the night sky and it will give me a clue what I’m looking at ie a chart thanks everyone

I've a Celestron 'scope so I got a rebadged version of SkySafari.
SkySafari seems quite well thought of

There are paid for versions. Not sure if there's a free version. It has options to control GoTo scopes, etc.
$2.99 - $39.99

edit: oh!! when you got clear skies? clearoutside.com will tell you.
