Software - AWB Star Charts (Deep Sky)
I created this application to show a representation of the sky with an emphasis on deep sky objects (Messier, Caldwell and NGC/IC) so that the observer can very quickly ascertain which deep sky objects are visible at any specified date and time. It allows the user to enter (and save) their geographic and time zone information so that the calculations and graphical representations are correct for their location and specified time.
