Lagoon is the ultimate companion for amateur astronomers. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced observer, Lagoon helps you make the most of every clear night. WHAT'S VISIBLE TONIGHT Get a personalized list of observable objects based on your location, Bortle index, and current weather conditions. Objects are sorted by their optimal observation time during the night. MESSIER & NGC CATALOGUE Browse the complete Messier catalogue (110 objects) and the full NGC database.

OBSERVATION LOGBOOK Log every session with date, location, observed objects, conditions (seeing, transparency, moon), equipment, free notes, sketches, and personal photos. Track your Messier progress with a visual grid and detailed statistics. OBSERVATION SITES Save your favorite spots — your backyard, a rural site, a mountain refuge. Get accurate Bortle index, real-time weather forecasts (cloud cover, seeing), and compare light pollution between your saved sites. SESSION PLANNER Know exactly when each object will be at its peak. Lunar calendar with phases, moonrise and moonset times. Set alerts when an object is about to reach its zenith.
