Hot take: I ditched my phone star app for a paper planisphere and my backyard nights got way better
For 3 years I was holding my phone up to the sky with SkyView every single session, and it kept killing my night vision and buzzing with texts. Now I just grab a $12 planisphere and a red flashlight, and in the 20 minutes I spend finding stuff by hand I actually learn where things are. Anyone else find that ditching the screen makes you remember the sky better?
