Observation Manager is an easy-to-use logbook designed specifically for astronomical observations. All logbook entries made in Observation Manager are stored in the OpenAstronomyLog XML Schema.
Log your observations and make sure next time you're searching for an celestial object you can make benefit of your past observations! Observation Manager comes with four catalogs of astronomical objects (Messier, HCNGC, Caldwell, Solar system, GCVS 4.0) and if you miss an object, you can configure your own entry!
