A video intro to my most-used astronomy apps

Great news everyone: on September 10th, 2024, our daughter Marianne was born! We're all doing well and adjusting to our new life.

I'm going to be on paternity leave for the next few months, so things will be a bit quieter. Before the birth, I decided to record a few "how-to" videos of my most used free apps. Then, if people asked me a certain question while I was on leave, I could link them these and they can (hopefully) learn to find the answer themselves.

Each one is about 10 minutes long. Enjoy!
