Discover the Treasures of Hercules with Mobile Astronomy Apps

In this edition of mobile astronomy, we'll showcase one of my favorites — mighty Hercules! This easily recognizable constellation features interesting folklore, some lovely double stars within reach of backyard telescopes and one of the deep sky's best showpieces for amateur astronomers. Hercules doesn't contain any very bright stars, but you can use your sky-charting app to find it very easily.
