Variable Stars - Astronomy Tools
Find all the info you need to enhance your variable star observations!
Search a database of over 300,000 variable stars to find the information you need to support your variable star observing program. Variable Stars is a great astronomy resource for anyone for observing or general reference.View and search by: • Star magnitude • Constellation • Star name or Variable Star Index (VSX) ID • Period • Spectral type • Variable typeRise, transit, and set times are also available for each star to help plan your observations. Simplify your observing plan by selecting one of the 9 pre-made lists of stars based off of AAVSOs (American Association of Variable Star Observers) observing sections.Local and current astronomy with the Whats Up mode: • 200 of the best placed stars for observing right now • Configure the criteria used to refine the list including magnitude and period ranges to fit your observing setting • Sort by star name, constellation, visibility, or magnitude• Fix for date/time selection dialog crashing in landscape mode• Fix for crash when trying to open settings on a tablet• Allow negative numbers to be entered for latitude/longitude in settings

The ability to add custom observation lists would be a nice addition, for quick and easy access to stars of interest.
Observation planning ~ I routinely use it several times a week with my programme stars.
