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 with the OIII filter. Very small PN, with an 11mm EP and no filter could only hold direct view about 50% of the time, holds steady with averted 100%. With filter it holds direct 100%. Hints of a brigher center slightly offset toward the N within the nebula. A tie on the Ultrablock vs. OIII.

Very dim with the moonlight. Needed both a UHC filter and a rough star-field sketch to allow me to confirm the object. Just a hint of fuzz without the filter, and only visible with (or without) the filter using averted vision. Star-field sketch compared and confirmed the observation.
