Tonights Best Lists?

Hi All!

Does anyone have a link to a site that provides something equivalent to an Autostar "Tonights Best" or Deep Sky highlights?

For me, part of the fun is looking at books and charts and trying to figure what I want to observe. However, when I'm out with the kids, or have guests, I find myself starting up my LXD55 just to get a "quick" list of Messier, or NGC's to enter into my SM 14.5's GoTo. I'd rather be able to print a list and take it outside with me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hello Greg!

You could try this free software called "What's Up", which will give you a list of objects based on your time and location. Then you can copy that into your Spreadsheet or Wordprocessor and print it out... 8)

Clear skies! 8)

Consider Will Tirion and Brian Skiff's
BRIGHT STAR ATLAS.

It has the what and where (as in ngc# and coordinates) of many hundreds of the brightest and best that may be crossing your meridian at any time of night any where on our planet. Already listed and tabled. Perhaps 50% tables and 50% charts.
