I just did a search on "Harvard Micro Observatory"

https://mo-www.cfa.harvard.edu/MicroObservatory/

The M87 Challenges look, challenging!

NASA's Micro Observatory works but can be a challenge to process at least I found it so that is why I was and am so happy with SLOOH

Yes there are better sites than Slooh, iTelescope and Insight Observatory give better results BUT they cost a lot more. For me Slooh works well enough also it is a challenge to make good images, sometimes it is easy others tough

I didn't spend a lot of time on the Micro site, but it looks like there's a limited number of targets you can select. Didn't see an option to target anything by RA and Dec or by scope.

Micro site doesn't have any custom ability and limited targets, they do allow different filters to some degree. It is a good site for kids or to get your feet wet in remote observing
