Does anyone know of a location that gives you star coordinates back some distance in time? In particular I'm interested in 1000 AD, but also 1600 BC to present.
I suppose I could chug through a formula of the precession of the equinoxes, but I was hoping that there is a handy website where you punch in your date, and get decl. and RA for major stars.
