For you amateur astronomers with an iPhone let me call attention to SkyGuide, available from the Apple store.
 It uses GPS and the phone's internal inertial sensors to display any 
portion of the sky you point it at. It can display in real time or any 
preset time/date/location. Truly point and search. A beautiful color 
display. For you high rollers it also works on the Apple iWatch   The universe on a 1"x3/4" display for $2! 

The only thing it can't do is clear away these cloudy, humid, light polluted Florida skies.
