For object ID and framing I use TheSky6, Desktop Universe, Aladin, Wikisky.

Thanks Tom.. I use TheSky6 for scope control and especially mosaic planning but will need to learn to use its databases at a deeper level. Will have a look at eXcalibrator and the other data sources as well.

Keep sending us your very inspiring work!
