Thanks guys those cards look great, I've been slack and avoided learning the sky which I should so I can probably put those to use during imaging sessions while the camera is busy.

AstroPlanner I've heard tons of good things about and just couldn't seem to figure out if it would filter the way I want. Most programs tend to just tell me whats in the sky tonight, not when will X be in the sky. I guess most people just put up with moving their gear to avoid trees/buildings. But surely home observatories still have some obstructions so there must be something to do this. Starry nights has a custom horizon option but when i tried to use it, it had an alt limit so I couldnt use it to properly mask, that was a couple of years ago. Guess i should see if the current version has it any better.
