Sky-map.org & Stellarium

LOTS of objects and hubble photos associated with various objects, but not all features are implemented yet..

BUT if you want a nice open source astronomy program try Stellarium, one of the most popular planetarium programs around. Nice and fast (OpenGL), cross-platform/GPL and multi-lingual too so lots of schools use it;

Stellarium is a planetarium software that shows exactly what you see when you look up at the stars. It's easy to use, and free.

Telescope compatability (short list: new feature - mostly Celestron & Meade):
