See your named star from here

Bird observatories look outward across the landscape rather than up at the night sky, but Neschwitz's dark rural surroundings still make for good stargazing after dusk. If you've named a star with Star Register, you can find its coordinates in our star catalogue and try to spot it with a telescope nearby.
