Plan for Right Now at the Telescope
Its our Nightly Planner, but for right now at the telescope (real time). Use it to drive your telescope with your laptop or tablet, or to navigate the sky with on-screen finding charts.
The Real Time tool is included with the Professional Edition and the Standard Edition plus Real Time Observing package.
Controls a Wide Variety of Telescopes
Many mounts are supported via the 3rd party ASCOM standard, including most every Celestron and Meade model. SkyTools directly supports the Argo Navis, Sky Commander and the ServoCAT.
SkyTour for a Hands-Free Experience at the Eyepiece
The SkyTour generates a plan that takes you from object to object with a minimum of interaction, allowing you to stay at the eyepiece and to stay dark adapted. At each stop, a voice reads information about the object and suggests the ideal eyepiece to use. The tour is organized unlike any other, always ensuring the best possible view.

Best Now Mode for Agile, Free-Form Observing
Pick what to look at now from a list of objects that are currently at their best. Its always tempting to look at an old friend near the horizon, or a faint fuzzy after the moon starts to come up. But there is always something better to look at, and SkyTools can put a number to it. Let Best Now mode keep you on track, ensuring the best use of your time at the eyepiece..
