It comes in two flavors - the daily planner has a page for every day of the year and includes suggested deep sky objects you can observe or image that night. It also has a summary list for each month.

The weekly planner is a little more lightweight and has the week spread out over two pages. It doesn't have daily deep sky objects, but does include the monthly summaries.

Lastly, of course, there's calendars, plus important regional and religious dates to help with planning your year.

These are planners, with room to write appointments and anniversaries, and packed full of astronomical info, such as the phases of the Moon and the visibility of planets.

Best of all, every day includes close conjunctions between the Moon, planets, stars and a few star clusters that you can observe or image.
