Sky View is billed
as ” the Internet’s Virtual Telescope”. It allows you to view
pictures of celestial objects in multiple wavelengths. You can run it
interactively, or download a Java version. If you find it confusing,
choose the “non-astronomer’s” interface, & check out
their orientation page.

The SkyMorph on-line database enables searches for variable, moving or
transient objects. It provides convenient access to optical images and
catalogs generated by the Near Earth Asteroid Tracking program,
including 1000s of images covering most of the sky. A
bit clunky to use, but an amazing resource.

Billed as "the most
complete astronomical observations and on-line-calculator on the
planet". It probably is!
