It has objects from most of the deep sky catalogues and links to other websites. It is one of the most extensive and easy to use search sites that I have found so far.

2. Worldwide telescope

This is a photographic survey of the whole sky - you can search for objects that look interesting, it also gives information about its magnitude etc.

Regrads,

Thanks mate just what I was looking for a quick preview and some recommended beginner targets.
