Field notes
The planner combines a location, observing window, equipment choice (eyes, binoculars, or telescope), darkness, Moon timing, and a cloud forecast to rank what is worth looking for across the night. Its wider menu links to a sky map with historical dates, a calendar rated for the user's location, a catalog described as covering 13,000 deep-sky objects, and a Moon atlas listing 9,000 craters and seas.
