My current setup is Stellarium + Clear Outside + windy.app and with that you really do need to know ahead of time which objects are visible for your particular location at that time of year or spend a while browsing. Your app looks amazing for my main use cases, but still lacks some information that I rely on. First, it is useful to know the direction of the cloud coverage throughout the night to be able to compare it with where the object you’re shooting will be. I also like to know the brightness (magnitude) of each object to help with planning. The last thing would be to get a list of recommendations rather than using lists of favorites. “What deep sky object do I not know about that today would be perfect for shooting?” is a question I have only been able to answer well with the ASIAR’s list of suggestions, manually curated calendars online that are not tuned to my location, or social media. It seems like you might have all the data to do a better job than all of those options in answering that question. Super cool app! Excited to see where it goes.

These are great ideas for me to add! - know the direction of the cloud coverage throughout the night to be able to compare it with where the object you’re shooting will be - I also like to know the brightness (magnitude) of each object to help with planning - The last thing would be to get a list of recommendations rather than using lists of favorites. “What deep sky object do I not know about that today would be perfect for shooting?”
