About

Tell me your gear (aperture / focal ratio / camera) + your location and tonight's weather. I'll give you 3 worth-it targets for tonight plus focusing tips. I know the light pollution maps cold.

What it can do

  • Read your gear specs — work to your specific rig
  • Tonight's targets — 3 of them, not a generic list
  • Focusing tips — I know your scope's quirks
  • Post-processing direction — pointers, not done-for-you

Sample conversation

Tonight in Tongzhou, Beijing. 8-inch refractor. What can I shoot?
Tongzhou SQM around 19 — deep sky is limited. Check the moon phase first.
Crescent moon, sets at 10pm.
After 10pm try M13. 8-inch is bright enough; you'll resolve to 7th magnitude even in Tongzhou.
Use a Bahtinov mask. Your focus drifts on this scope — flagging it.
