For
Windows skywatchers, beginner astronomy learners, and Stellina owners
Worth noticing
The planner ranks objects by altitude and includes automatically updated passes for the ISS and China's Tiangong station.

Field notes

The sky view is tied to a town the user enters, with objects below the local horizon hidden behind the ground. The site says station passes stay current automatically, and its object catalog extends beyond the photographed selections to more than 11,000 NGC and IC entries. Some built-in images come from the maker's Stellina; others are credited to NASA, Hubble, Spitzer, and the Digitized Sky Survey.
