I've just discovered this wonderful App for my iPad that I wanted to share. It's called GoSkyWatch Planetarium. http://www.gosoftworks.com/GoSkyWatch/GoSkyWatch.html
The interface is very clean and shows what looks like a planisphere, except, when you hold it up to the sky, you'll notice that the stars move exactly the same way you do! In fact, it's showing you exactly what you're seeing in the sky exactly where you have your iPad pointed. This is a revelation when you first use it. As you would guess, unpinching the screen brings you closer to the stars and pinching zooms you back out.
the best part about this software is that it is free. There's a paid version, but I'm not sure what it offers. I just wanted to let everyone know about the pinching part first!
Thanks,
Ambrose
