list of visible object for location
It would be nice to request a list of things in your sky for that location/time. Right now you have to scan/pan/zoom around to find things to plan your nights observations.
It would be nice to have the software show a list of all Messier objects, NGC objects etc. for your location/time. In the list show Mag, location, type etc and be able to double click and have the software pan/scan/zoom around to show the object location visually.

Search and sort (by RA/setting time/mag/...?)
Present in list, allow clicking through?
Your last request about the oak tree cover is solvable given the 0.13+ landscape opacity query. However, what if it is hidden now, but will appear in 20 minutes in 60 degrees altitude? It means continuous real-time update of the list (or say 1/minute, or with "Update" button?)
But there is more than DSO: double/
