Life gets easier for Lost ETs
Google has added more than a million astronomical photographs stitched together to give users of Google Maps a deep picture of the sky.
The software will display diagrams of constellations, Hubble telescope pictures of the far reaches of the galaxy, and animated graphics of the planets and other bodies as they move in the sky. The sky portion of Google Earth is also, like the earth, fully searchable.

Hello Ben:
You may also want to take a look at heavens-above.com for its ability to generate location-specific guidance to the night sky. You plug in your latitude and longitude, and you can then get sky maps (with time information) to locate planets, the International Space station, Iridium flares, and other interesting sights. I think you'd enjoy this.
