Resources currently sorted by:Title (A-Z) ASTRO  | | Description: | Multipurpose software (ephemerides, planetarium...) written in QuickBASIC and best suited for altazimuthal / dobsonian telescope owners.
Coordinates conversion remains the most useful characteristic of ASTRO but not the only one. Other features (and they are far to many for us to describe all here) are geared toward the deep sky, reference stars, comets and asteroids etc.. | | | Filesize: | 0 bytes | | Added on: | 03-Dec-2003 | | Downloads: | 583 | | Rating: | 10.0 (1 Vote) | | Category: | DOS | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (1) | |
| AstroSat32 | | Description: | The program computes star maps with 15639 stars (to mag. 7,0), with 50 star clusters and nebulas visible with the naked eye, the five brightens planet (merkur, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn), the moon and the sun, a comet and up to 10000 earth satellites.
This is the DOS version, there is also a Windows version available. | | | Version: | 3.11 | | Filesize: | 247.07 Kb | | Added on: | 08-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 320 | | Category: | DOS | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
 Binary v3.0 | | Description: | This program simulates eclipsing binary stars and displays the light curves.
This is the DOS version. A Windows version is also available.

| Deep Space | | Description: | Sky mapping software. In the shareware version all functions are fully operable (including telescope interface support!), but printer support is limited to Postscript, and the databases are reduced (naked-eye stars, fewer comets and asteroids, and only the Messier list of deep sky objects). The shareware version is intended to be a trial copy, but it is quite serviceable in its own right for many purposes. Even if you decide not to register, the shareware version itself is worth the download time.
The full commercial version of Deep Space comes on a CD ROM that contains the 250,000 star NASA Skymap database, the 18-million star Guide Star Catalog, the Saguaro Deep Sky database with about 10,000 objects, and about 10,000 asteroids and comets. The program and data files can be downloaded for use on laptops or other computers that lack a CD ROM drive | | | Version: | 5.56 | | Filesize: | 1.34 MB | | Added on: | 07-Nov-2003 | | Downloads: | 402 | | Category: | DOS | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| Desorb, Univers, MSA and Photom | | Description: | Desorb traces and prints the orbit of a chosen comet and, by reference, the position of the Earth.
Univers produces image models of the different Universe models/theories (expanding, De Sitter, etc...).
MSA - Millenium Star Atlas gives you the page and volume of this Atlas according to R.A. and Dec.
Photom is useful for variable stars observation.

| Free Virtual Galaxy | | Description: | «The purpose of the Free Virtual Galaxy Project (FVG) is to provide a zero cost, interactive 3D virtual reality system which allows users to "fly" to and around nearby stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. Objects represented in the system are plotted in the positions they occupy in 3-space according to the best information available. »

| GalaSimu | | Description: | Simulates interacting galaxies. Features:
- Parameters. Number of particles, particle distribution and all physical initial values can be modify.
- Rotating. The dynamical presentation of the interaction can rotate around all three axes from 1 up to 180 degree per keypress.
- Zooming. Zoom in and zoom out is possible in 4 percent steps.
- Scale and direction of axes always displayed.
- Colors. Colors of menu and the particle colors can be modify.
- Parametering of values. Up to 10 values can assign to each parameter.
- Pictures. Pictures can save as *.PCX files, colored or black&white, anytime a key is pressed.
- Sequence of pictures. GalaSimu can save up to 999 pictures through a simulation.

| Globular Cluster | | Description: | This simple DOS program written in Turbo Pascal simulates globular clusters pictorially. The user specifies the number of stars that the cluster is to contain. The resulting simulation is then plotted out.

| GrandTour | | Description: | GRANDTOUR can simulate space as
seen from the Voyager and Giotto spacecraft. In addition, GRANDTOUR can
generate scenes from arbitrary points in space or the Earth, with the
spacecraft visible to the observer. The planet, moons, and rings of
interest (or comet, nucleus, and tail), stars, the sun, and the
spacecraft are all accurately drawn with wireframe representations.
Hidden line removal is done for the body surfaces. The motions of the
bodies themselves are highly accurate, with errors no greater than 500
kilometers. The user has considerable control over the time step, field of
view, etc., and many frames per second are typically generated.
The program was originally developed at the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory by John D. Callahan to assist in the analysis of science and optical navigation
data. In addition, the program was filmed by the BBC as part of a NOVA
documentary on the Voyager Uranus encounter, and by the Four Point
Entertainment Company for a commercially available video on Halley's
Comet. Program conveniently runs from any Windows/DOS.

 Interactive Computer Ephemeris | | Description: | «The program covers nearly all that is given in the yearly "Astronomical Almanac" published by USNO. Positions of planets; rotational and illum- ination data; sun/moon/planet rise, transit, and set times. It does not include the satellite (moon) data for other planets; the latter IS included in the book. The output is a simple numerical tabulation, no graphics. Accuracy is equivalent to the book, that is, world-class accuracy. Output may be directed to a file for later use.
A more recent program called MICA (Multi-year Interactive Computer Alamanac) is intended to replace ICE. MICA also runs on the Macintosh. However, MICA is good for only 1990 - 2000, whereas ICE covers 1801 to 2049. And, unlike ICE, MICA is not free.
ICE is no longer supported by USNO. »
