If you like Google Earth, you might also like http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/index.html

For those who prefer outer space, download stellarium http://www.stellarium.org/ don't forget to read the manual....

I think the latter is just great. You need to enter your location in order to view the sky is it presents itself at your location. It's in real time, but obviously not through a telescope. I understand you can interface with the equatorial mount of your telescope.

Try zooming in on Saturn or whatever.
