Compass tip: Phone compass accuracy varies between devices and can be affected by nearby metal or magnets. If the sky map looks rotated, wave your phone in a figure-8 pattern to recalibrate, or use manual drag mode instead.

Location and orientation data are used only to calculate star positions locally in your browser. No data is sent to any server. Device sensor APIs require HTTPS when deployed.
