Your Sky Tonight

This section of the User's Guide is intended to help
you explore the night sky from your location on any
date, at any time. You'll be able to answer the
question: "When I head outside tonight at say, 9
p.m., what am I going to be able to see?" You'll
also learn how to plan ahead for special events, like
meteor showers and lunar eclipses.
For a given location, what you can see in the sky on
any given night depends on the date and time. The
stars that are visible at 9 p.m. on a December night
are very different from the ones you would see at 9
p.m. in June, for example.
planets follow their own unique celestial paths –
their positions, and their brightness, vary from
month to month and year to year.

What's Up, Doc?

TheSkyX includes a menu command that will
display a select list of objects that will be visible in
your night sky on the current date. You can set the
parameters of this list to choose the kinds of objects
you're most interested in seeing.
