Resources currently sorted by:Title (Z-A) Vito AstroNavigator  | | Description: | VITO AstroNavigator is a PPC GPS application which displays a map of the sky according to your current position, time and direction of movement. You are able to identify sky objects with a single tap.
The sky map in VITO AstroNavigator contains over 9000 stars down to 6.5 m.
AstroNavigator provides advanced search engine for star database and shows:
- all planets of our solar system;
- Sun and Moon;
- constellations;
- coordinate grids;
- names for all major stars and HR numbers for other stars.
Most notably the program also plots the position of the GPS satellites against the sky background in realtime.
Requires a Pocket PC (XScale, ARM or MIPS) connected to a GPS receiver. | | | Version: | 1.1 | | Filesize: | 1000.00 Kb | | Added on: | 20-Aug-2005 | | Downloads: | 1408 | | Category: | Pocket PC | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |

| SkyORB [BROKEN] | | Description: | «SkyORB computes sun, moon and majors planets rise and set time and positions from any place in the world, renders local sky with up to 26000 stars (HYG Database Mag 8) in real time and constellation charts and stars names, nebulas, comets and asteroids with an user modifiable MPC database.»
A 3D rendering view of space with the majors planets is also available.
SkyORB can detect solar / lunar eclipse, solstice and equinoxes days, renders sun clock, orbits view (in false scale) or real view (using real physics / orbital parameters for distance and planets dimensions).
This is the version for handhelds (for WinCE platform - ARM processors only). Windows and BeOS versions are also available | | | Version: | 1.54 | | Filesize: | 683.59 Kb | | Added on: | 29-Dec-2005 | | Downloads: | 967 | | Rating: | 10.0 (1 Vote) | | Category: | Pocket PC | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (1) | |
| Riseset v1.1 | | Description: | The Riseset Application displays information about the rise, transit and set times (among other data) for the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Any date and user location may be specified.
Riseset has good accuracy for visual sighting. The actual sun times should be within a few seconds of the time shown. The moon and planets times are given to the second, but the actual time could be ± a minute.
The program also gives:
- The altitude and azimuth angles at the current time, or at a user specified time.
- A compass drawing showing the azimuth and altitude angles.
- Optional magnetic compass correction for azimuth angles.
- The right ascension and declination of each of the celestial bodies.
- For the Sun -- the length of the day, time of the civil, nautical, and astronomical twilight.
- The current percent visibility of the Moon.
- The date and time of the next Moon phase.
- Lunar or solar eclipse information a few days in advance of the event.

| Pocket Stars PDA | | Description: | Ephemeris, star finder, and celestial navigation tool for the Pocket PC (Arm, Mips, SH3).
Features include:
. Rise, set, and meridian times for all solar system bodies.
. Lunar Phase calendar and animation showing the relative positions of the earth, moon, and sun.
. Images and physical data for planets, moon and sun. Optional display of all 110 Messier objects through separate free download.
. Calculators for Great Circle Distances, Range and Bearing, Horizon Distances, Julian Day, and degree minute seconds conversions.
. Reduction from sextant altitude to observed altitude for any of the 9110 stars, nine planets, and sun and moon.
Planet ephemeris data from Jet Propulsion Laboratory using the DE405 database.
. User interface optimized for simple and fast star, planet, Messier, and Caldwell object identification. Single click on any body to get the name, designation, calculated altitude, azimuth, and magnitude. Drag the cursor to scroll the chart. Zoom in and out with a single click.
. Display of orbital paths for inner solar system bodies showing daily positions for one year centered on current date.
. Animation of the sky in increments of hours, days, weeks, or months.
. Manual or automatic control of star magnitudes. Simple control over which objects to display.
