AstroPoint - Opening a window to the sky
Typical view of the AstroPoint user panel showing a sample of results.

Description

Have you even taken out your Alt-Azimuth telescope out of a casual session, looked up and thought, “Hmm, I wonder what’s up there… maybe just above the second to last fencepost?” AstroPoint will allow you to enter a range of min/max Altitude and Azimuth and present a list of Messier and choice NGC objects currently within that ‘Sky Window’. The resulting objects are listed by visual magnitude to make your evening of driveway observing more enjoyable.

  • Real-Time RA/Dec to Alt-Azimuth conversion for thousands or objects
  • Shows object data for the selected object including object type and constellation
