What are your favorite websites to plan observations?

[N3ptune]

Hi, I am looking for some great website to keep me up-to-date with the upcoming astronomical events, like the oppositions, conjunctions, bright DSOs, could even include comets or other harder targets. Some site I could look at quickly in the morning to keep me informed.

Do you guys have any favourite ones so I can build a small bookmark lists in my internet browser.

(I could look that up all by myself using google but.. I prefer to ask here instead)

Thanks.

I use this to find exoplanet transits to observe

And this for variable stars in need of observation

You can obviously enter your own location.

Oki here is the list so far:

That one, I knew the name but never used it, looks great  https://dso-browser.com/

Exoplanets why not: http://var2.astro.cz/ETD/predictions.php?delka=-8&submit=submit&sirka=52

Variable stars, I don't know much about these yet: https://filtergraph.com/aavso?ac=on&settype=true

Interesting: http://tonightssky.com/MainPage.php

I already use that one for the moon too thanks @David Levi: https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/uk/cardiff

There is another one I found a while ago, it's a planet visibility guide, very useful (When are the Planets on view?): http://www.nakedeyeplanets.com/visibility.htm#2018

==============

I think Ill use the DSO-browser and tonightssky the most, for general viewing.

Thanks for this exercise.
