About AstroPoint

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.

Key features

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