Generate a finder chart
The following form will generate a PDF finder chart suitable for printing using to locate objects in the sky with your telescope!
The Date is only really useful for solar system objects, as deep space objects move measurably only on a galactic timescale.
The larger the F.O.V (field of view), the more "zoomed out" the object will appear. It can be helpful to print several charts of the same object with different field of views.
Limiting the magnitude (remember, lower magnitude means brighter!) of stars and objects can make sure your chart is not cluttered with dim objects that you may not be visible to you anyway. The defaults are good, but try experimenting with raising and lowering the values.

Revisited this PN in my night of PN observing. Noted last time I observed to revisit to look for detail. Tonight I noted the WNW corner was brighter, with stellar-like spot in that corner. Still want to revisit under dark and stable conditions, this object hints at wanting to give up more detail each time.

Small but visible with direct vision most of the time without the ultrablock filter. With ultrablock filter visible with direct vision but better with averted vision. No real solid sense of detail, but will revisit this object to try to detect more.
