One target at a time
Directions adapt to the observer, current geometry, and stars they have personally confirmed.
VOICE-FIRST · BLINDED · OFFLINE-FIRST
The sky is the instrument.
Keep your eyes on twilight. A calm voice guides one useful star at a time while every non-detection, possible glimpse, confirmation, and original utterance is preserved as research evidence.

BUILT FOR FIELD SCIENCE
Quiet in the moment. Rigorous afterward.
The live screen nearly disappears. Underneath it, a versioned trail makes every scientific decision inspectable and every raw record recoverable.
Intervals, not invented instants
Last not-seen, first suspected, first confirmed, and first continuous visibility remain distinct.
Source audio survives
Browser recognition is optional. The original timed recording is locally secured before upload.
Reproducible scheduling
Phase, scores, alternatives, seed, model snapshot, and selection reason are frozen for review.
Begin a blinded session
Complete a short preflight, then keep your attention on the real sky.

See how blinding, voice reports, timing brackets, and scientific review protect the evidence.
