This may not be a planetarium but I did use it extensively when i first re-started this hobby many years back. Its useful and less intimidating for a beginner. Surprised they are still around.

www.skymaps.com


Otherwise, both the Astronomy.com and skyandtelescope.com websites also provide similar services
