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.

Easily split it with its companion star. Colors came through clear. Yellow and blue.

After Saturn, I decided to visit Albireo quickly before getting back to work (break's almost over). A classic and easy to find binary, but it's always rewarding to view. The contrasting colours are really stunning.

This single point of light hides a surprising 2 stars. A beautiful binary system.
