Actually, I just saw a nice demonstration of astroplanner last night from Peter (peter_4059). Looks pretty cool. I'll look into it, but I want the database for a more personal application. I'm trying to create a database that contains all Messier objects with their "M42" number, their common names like "Orion Nebula", and a similar one for NGC objects with a cross-reference between them for objects in both catalogues. I'm rewriting my homepage and gallery to use MySQL, and thought it'd be cool to be able to reference this astro database as I shoot objects.
