>>> IDEAS FOR AT-HOME ASTRONOMY <<<
— SKYLIVE has a great sky chart (in the Planetarium tab) plus has a wealth of other astronomy information. It has indicators and labels for Messier objects and a search capability for comets.
— STELLARIUM Has an impressive looking sky chart but being able to label deep sky objects is not obvious.
— IN-THE-SKY Is an easy to use guide to the night sky for relevant astronomy topics.
