Resources currently sorted by: Popularity (Ascending) Sky Atlas | | Description: |
Sky Atlas - The program is addressed to lovers and hotheads of astronomy and everyone, who wants to know how to identify constellations and other space objects: stars, galaxies, nebulas, planets. Every object in the program is described and every object can be accompanied by a picture. Easy to use and intuitive user interface allows you to browse easily the whole sky. The sky above us option helps you to specify the current stars configuration for a chosen geographical position quickly. Moreover, there is a possibility of planet and moon motion or solar eclipse simulation at any time range. The sky atlas mode can be easily switched to realistic view to admire the actual views seen in the night sky. All the maps and views can be saved to graphic files in order to use them later.

| Mirapla | | Description: | Mirapla Sky is designed for learners. It provides a realistic view of the stars as seen with the unaided eye, which allows you to practise identifying stars and constellations during daylight hours, and when the weather is cloudy. Due to its high degree of realism and simplicity it is recommended for learning the constellations in conjunction with a paper planisphere.
Originally built for DOS it later get a basic Windows interface (title link, above).
An Italian plain DOS version can also be found here. | | | Version: | 1.2.1 | | Filesize: | 273.47 Kb | | Added on: | 07-Apr-2004 | | Downloads: | 399 | | Category: | Windows / Planetariums | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| The Milky Way for SkyMap Pro 6 and above | | Description: | A failure of SkyMap, in both the demonstration and full versions, is the inability of plotting the Milky Way.
José R. Vieira, a Brazilian amateur astronomer, has brilliantly solved this problem by creating a set of files which work as external catalogues and allow the program to plot the Milky Way according to 5 levels of luminosity.
To proceed with the installation, a rather simple task, just download the Zip file and follow the instructions described in the included "ReadMe.wri". | | | Version: | 1.0 | | Filesize: | 585.94 Kb | | Added on: | 01-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 401 | | Category: | Windows / Planetariums | | Rate resource | Details | |
| SkyChart III | | Description: | SkyChart III, shipping today, gives you 19 million stars, 1 million galaxies, thousands of solar system and deep sky objects, satellite tracking, and computer control for Meade and Celestron telescopes-- all on one CD-ROM for Windows and Macintosh at an unbeatable price.
The demo version of the program can't perform any high-precision planetary ephemeris computations, and its database contains only 12,000 objects (instead of the 19 million on the CD-ROM). However, all other features of the demo version are fully functional. This demo version is release 3.5.1; some of the new features in our latest release (3.6) are not present. | | | Version: | 3.6 | | Filesize: | 3.84 MB | | Added on: | 27-Oct-2003 | | Downloads: | 456 | | Category: | Windows / Planetariums | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| Power Age Sky Simulator | | Description: | Full featured planetarium software. It operates with great number of objects and has features as different view types (standard, true, red and B&W), satellites of Jupiter and Saturn and telescope control.
Objects include:
- Stars. As a major base for stars is used the GSC-ACT catalog. It contains about 19 million objects (up to magnitude 15).
- Major planets;
- Satellites of Jupiter and Saturn. Much extensive tools are available concerning the satellites of these two planets. You can see screenshots in the screenshots section;
- Comets and asteroids. Power Age Sky Simulator operates with comets and asteroids (get the latest data sets from the homepage).
- Deep Sky Objects. Power Age Sky Simulator 4 uses the Wolfgang Steinicke's corrected NGC/IC catalog as primary source for deep sky objects. The catalog is from January 27, 2003 and is the most complete and clear from errors NGC/IC edition ever made. It contains entries for exactly 14,000 objects.
