I got a telescope for christmas that I took a break from for personal reasons but want to get back in it now that we are heading toward a less humid time of year.

Is there an app or blog that you use to keep track of these events? I feel like knowing when certain things are coming up will help me plan a little better.

I live in bortle 7 and I've learned from this spring that bortle 7 and 6 is not dark enough for certain targets with a 4 inch refractor lol. I have access to bortle 5 and 4 areas within an hour and 3 in just above an hour. I would just need to plan going out there in advance, if the weather cooperates.

Anyway, do you guys have any favorites? TIA!

I am not sure about upcoming events, but if you have a phone I would highly recommend Stellarium. It helps identify everything and you can change your view based on time and location.

Wow this app is also available for my Linux computer AND its open source according to their website. I'm in love!
