If you use iPhone, or iPad the best astronomy app out there is Sky Safari. It also has an Android version. It's "plus" version which is very good is on sale this weekend for 50% off ($6.99). It's a great deal as it makes a nice mobile planetarium with a red light setting and lots of info on popular celestial objects that does not require wifi or Internet to access. I strongly recommend it if you don't yet have a computer solution for in field. It also has the ability to connect wirelessly to pushto or goto scopes although I use an Orion and the connecting part costs $150 which seems too steep to me. Although I would love to hear if anyone has tried this connection and found it worth the money.
