Astroplanner is certainly great for urban environments Nick where you have significant obstructions. If you spend some time mapping your horizon, you get quite an accurate indication of what is available at a given time. Fantastic application for logging where you've been too. I rarely plan an imaging session without checking it for rise/transit/set/astronomical twilight/moon data/objects previously viewed, etc

You could easily prepare a list of objects, then simply slew to them (V2 required). Freeware V1 alone is pretty good, but doesn't do ASCOM scope control very well if at all (V2 far better)
