Planning is perhaps the most neglected aspect of astrophotography. For a
novice like me who is still learning the art, and is practicing on well-
known objects, it might not be as important. But when trying to capture
an elusive DSO, or a fleeting event, planning ahead becomes more important.
Presently, this a a manual, pencil and paper procedure. I hope to improve
this by building a web-based wizard that will result in a digital or
hardcopy product that can be used in the field. A side benefit is that
much of the image record data behind the images that appear on this Web
site can be captured during this process.
