Was just using it to find where Sgr A* was in the sky a few minutes ago, I love how big the database is. Thank you!

Currently, there are about 2 millions searchable deep sky objects, plus all the Hipparcos star catalog (about 100,000 stars).

If you zoom in you can actually see the entirely of Gaia dr2 catalog (about 1 billion sources, mostly stars).

We also have most of the major solar system bodies.
