SkyORB is a decent stargazing application that utilizes a really good digital compass and a 3D interface. It lets you search and find stars, deep sky objects, current satellites and shuttle missions, and enables you to see the sky from any point on earth. The trial version is of course free but is stripped down in features, unless you pay for the premium version for a few bucks right inside of the app. This app seems to be riddled with bugs, and there is also no red night vision toggle, which renders it almost useless. SkyORB is a free download from the App store.

SOLAR is now brought to you by Science Channel and Aireal!
SOLAR is a geospatial augmented reality experience created on the Aireal platform that allow's you to explore our solar system within your existing environment.
SOLAR leverages Aireal’s proprietary method of using geospatial coordinates to anchor digital content at a nearby location, rather than using a marker or computer vision. This feature gives you the ability to walk through and around the entire solar system as if it was part of your real environment. As you’re navigating through our planetary system, feel free to tap on a planet to receive detailed information.
———————————
About Aireal
Aireal is an augmented reality platform that enables people to design, discover and experience (2D, 3D, Video and Interactive) content that is super-imposed over their real world environment and is visble through the use of mobile and wearable technology. Unlike the current status quo of augmented reality that requires marker-based recognition, Aireal's patented technology allows for digital content to be placed within volumetric blocks that are anchored to real world longitude, latitude and altitude coordinates that enables a markerless augmented experience.
