Stellarium

I'm looking for a telescope (anyone got one? know much abut them?) and came across this gem.

with a wiki

Allows you to manually input your location, or anywhere else for that matter, and get a view of the sky based on a pretty substantial database. It's not got some of the flashier notes that some of the android and ios apps have but I'm reliably informed it's used both educationally and by amateur astronomy groups for planning viewing.

 

Seems pretty good to me
