computer astronomy

[alecras2345]

Hi I want to stargazers indoors.  I cant go outside as it affects my disability and the skies are always cloudy.   I'm always online, either on facebook or you tube.   I'd like to do astronomy online but I dont know what I can do.  I've looked at stellarium and thought that I can go looking around on it in the evenings.  What can I do to plan an evenings observing using stellarium?   Is stellarium in real time?

If you configure Sellarium correctly with your co-ordinates etc, then it can be 'real -time', and show what you can potentially see...

There are also on-line telescopes, that you can view from your browser, e.g. Online Telescopes - Universe Today , The New Home for Astrophotography and Remote Imaging | Telescope Live,  Get your telescope time - The Virtual Telescope Project 2.0   but note, most will require some form of payment, depending on whether you 'buy' telescope time, or 'eavesdrop' on a picture feed....

There are also live feeds https://www.nasa.gov/connect/chat/allsky.html as an example.

I am a member of SLOOH.com but i don't really know what to do, is mainly for astrophotography?  What i want to do is stargaze from my pc indoors and i thought i could do that with Stellarium.
