Not every day we can be so lucky to use our telescope. Perhaps we just need to prepare our observing session.

In both cases employing an astronomy software will make your life easier.

Here’s a list – in no particular order – of some of the best virtual planetarium and star charting software available on the web.

Whether you are a stargazing beginner or an amateur astronomer, I hope there may be something that will bring your favourite hobby to the next level.

Feel free to share it with your fellow stargazers!
