Ever wondered what that bright object in the sky is when you sit on your balcony of an evening. Stellarium is a free real time planetarium web site which you can set for any location in the world. Once loaded you can add your home location.Calis Beach is in the list of locations ;bit laborious scrolling down but you can set as your default location.Point at an object and it tells you all about it.The driver icons will appear when you scroll across the bottom or left hand side.

Ipad has a great few apps for this and it doesnt matter where you are in the world as it has a GPS built inside.
