Object Planner
Hobbyweight 1tracker · keeps what you put in
Half of stargazing happens at the kitchen table, deciding what deserves the next clear night. The Object Planner keeps your target list ready: the object, when it's best seen, and a notes box for RA/Dec and anything else you'll want at the eyepiece.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

Questions people ask
How do I plan which objects to observe on a clear night?
You build the list in advance — target, the season or month it's best placed, and its coordinates in the notes. Then when the forecast turns kind, you're choosing from a menu instead of starting from scratch.
Is my observing list stored in the cloud?
No. The Object Planner is one HTML file that runs offline in your browser. Your list stays on your machine, no account needed, and the file is yours forever.
Can I store RA and Dec coordinates for each target?
Yes — the notes field is made for exactly that. Write the RA/Dec, a finder hint, whatever gets you on target faster in the dark.
