Tool includes
- Visual view of target using Aladin Sky Atlas
- Target name resolution using Sesame interface
- Field of View (FoV) view of target with a chosen telescope
- View and calculate mosaics coordinates up to 10x10 size
- Target visibility during the night
- Moon altitude and distance from the target
- Target and moon altitude over next 12 months
- Catalog list for selecting the target
- Filtering of catalog list based on altitude, time and distance from the moon
- Includes Messier, NGC, IC, Sharpless, RCW and Slooh 500 catalogs
- Multiple target coordinate formats are supported:
- HH:MM:SS DD:MM:SS, HH MM SS DD MM SS
- HH:MM:SS/DD:MM:SS, HH MM SS/DD MM SS
- HHMMSS DDMMSS, HH.dec DD.dec
- A comma separated list can be given to show multiple targets
- Wiki interface to show target information
- Current seeing conditions
