The program allows to search for objects in the NGC/IC database by the object:
Performs search of NGC/IC objects to be observed
Performs search of closeby NGC/IC objects in the vicinity of a specified one
Exports search results directly to Planetarium
Calculates visibility for any object and graph the result
Creates an observation plan
Locates the object for equatorial mounts in 'manual go to' style by calculating the number of turns of RA and DEC handles from some star or other DSO
Views other people observation logs (in Russian, from www.astronomy.ru)
- Minimum dimension
- Availability (i.e. its altitude at the particular time and location should be above some minimum)
- Type (galaxy, globular cluster, nebula etc.)
- Visibility (log(C0/C)) in particular telescope according to the visibility concept developed by Jose Torres or maximum magnitude
