online sky charting software

John Walker has built various tools at Your Sky, an interactive planetarium of the web.

(If he sounds familiar, he's a co-author of AutoCAD.)

I've used the sky map and virtual telescope software to create white on black and colour charts. Handy for producing maps that I can then use to plan star hops.

Also, I've downloaded the dynamic screen saver for the Lord John Whorfin (Windows 98) computer. This screen saver is awesome. I think it will help me keep even better tabs on what planets are visible on a night to night basis...

And I'm also practicing my constellation recognition!
