Right Ascension chart is a chart similar to natal chart but it shows how natal chart potentials manifest in life, how they play themselves out.
How is it different from a natal chart?
The celestial equator is a more 'earthy' reference than the ecliptic. This makes sense, for the celestial equator is the projection of the earth's equator on the celestial sphere, while the ecliptic is the path of the Sun.
Consequently, it's regarded the right ascension chart is an indication of how a person manifests the potentialities of their 'normal' (longitude-based) chart into their life. From this perspective, the 'normal' chart shows potentialities; the right ascension chart shows how these potentialities are likely to manifest in real life. Hence the motto: right ascension chart – manifestation chart.
For instance, if an aspect or a cluster of planets is really critical in a person's chart, you may want to look at their right ascension chart to see if the aspect is also present, and if it is any different.
In astrological readings, it is not rare to see people who are not like their chart! For instance, one sees charts with beautiful potentialities which are not translated into the reality of the person's life. The right ascension chart may give clues as to why and how, and also clues as to how to manifest what is in the chart.

I don't think astrodienst has option to draw RA charts and if your program doesn't show show them either, use this one:

After entering you birth data click on 'View', 'Drawing', choose either 'PNG' or 'SVG', then 'Configure', and 'Right Ascension Chart'.
My RA chart shows Plu-Sat square - so well known to me!!! And some other aspects disapear, while other new ones appear.
