Software reccomendations for (target) season needed.
I'm wondering if there's any software for working out the best "season" dates for viewing/imaging a specified target.
ideally something that can accept some constraints like a minimum Alt of 30* and AZ between 275* and 018*. So if you have trees/building obstructions from your favourite viewing spot you can get dates/times to ensure it will be in your field of view.
Currently I load up Starry Night and stick postit notes to my monitor to block out obstructions then step through a month at a time until i see my target again. Not ideal but it works, but there must be a faster, more accurate method where I can configure my field of view and obstructions then give it a target and it gives me a date/time list.
Before you shout: find a better viewing location. I have a physical disability so its just NOT an option. I am just trying to make best use of my home viewing spot that I can set up on when weather permits. Its not perfect but its all I can rely on being able to do.
