Astronomy Oracle Overview

Catalog lookup and observing-session planning come from the gregario/astronomy-oracle MCP server, which uses bundled OpenNGC data and local calculations. It exposes tools for object lookup, catalog filtering, and location-based session planning, including coordinates, visibility, and rise/transit/set details. Use it when an agent needs structured deep-sky object data or an observing plan without a network dependency. It runs through npx and requires Node.js 18 or newer.
