See how 100 popular deep-sky targets — and the Milky Way — frame in your smart telescope. Each is drawn at your scope's true on-sky field of view over a real image, rotation-correct for your location and the time you choose.
Scopes — pick one or more to compare; each draws its own box. Includes the S30 Pro and Dwarf 3 wide-angle lenses for Milky Way framing.
Targets — choose from the list or search. "Visible tonight" shows only targets above 20° for at least an hour during tonight's dark window, and "Sort: Best tonight" orders the list by how long and how high each target rides tonight.
Time — the slider spans tonight's astronomical darkness; drag it to see the framing rotate through the night, or tap "Highest" to jump to the target's peak altitude during the dark window. The bar above the slider plots the selected target's altitude across the night: the stretch above the 20° floor is shaded, with a dashed marker where it rises above or drops below the floor, and the line above the clock totals how long it's up and when. The readout beside the clock shows the target's altitude and compass direction at the chosen time. Times are shown in your site's timezone.
Settings (⚙) — set your location, date, view, and mount. Mount defaults to Alt-Az for SeeStar and EQ for Dwarf, matching each scope's app.
Mosaic — preview multi-panel framing on scopes that support it. Drag to reposition; scroll or pinch to zoom.
