Is there a telescope app?

Why can’t I see planets through my telescope?
Planets are small and far enough away that they will never fill a significant portion of your field-of-view, even at you scope’s highest usable magnification. For example, many of Celestron’s basic telescopes come with a 10mm eyepiece as the shortest focal length in the box with the new scope.
