I'm interested in gaining a better understanding of the relationship of the major cluster, globs and nebulae that I chase images of. Does anyone know of software that allows this, along the lines of this one, but with details of the objects?

Can Starry Night Pro do this at all?

This page interesting too, but you can't zoom right in to any great extent. Still, nice to get info on the arms.

Thanks Troy. That sounds definitely along the lines of what I was thinking. Will check it out.
