It's ok having a telescope, binoculars or spotting scope sitting around doing nothing, but where to look if you have never used one on the night sky or don't know the sky location of many objects? The best way to know what's in the sky at your location at any given time is to use a Planetrium type program on your computer. It keeps track of the sky by using your computer's clock and your location is entered into the program to give the exact same skies as where you are. These programs have thousands of objects to choose from including the planets. Once you find something you wish to view, just print out the surrounding area of sky from your computer as a reference to finding the object. Objects range from naked eye viewing, binocular, spotting scope and of course a telescope!

A Standard program with many features is $69AUS or $39US$ Plus shipping. Forty thousand objects including descriptions and data.
