If you are planning a star party or even night of solo observing, it is helpful to have a list of objects to look for that you can reference throughout the night. I’ve created a tool for generating an itinerary of night sky objects that can be observed in a given date, time and location. This tool takes your provided start date, start time, end date, end time and location and will generate a list of the more popular night sky objects viewable during that time.
For each object, it will list:
- Object name
- Summary of the object
- Approximate location of the object in the night sky
- Best time to view the object.
The data is obtained via interface with the OpenAI ChatGPT engine. Since the information is A.I. generated dynamically with each request, results may differ each time that it is run. Also, the OpenAI project is still evolving, so some of the information may be inaccurate.
