Hey all, I recently moved house and needed to create new Horizon (.hrz) files for NINA and Stellarium. Instead of going through the normal trial and error I prompted a pretty nifty tool - it runs on https://neuronburner.com/hrz-creator/

It runs completely offline with no tracking etc, this is so you can save the page and run it from disk anywhere you happen to be imaging from.

Enjoy!

I’ll have to try this out this week. I’ve been needing to update my horizon file.
