Resources currently sorted by: Date (Old downloads listed first) GraphDark | | Description: | «GraphDark allows you to work out when an astronomical object will be visible from your location and when moonlight, twilight or low haze will affect its visibility. An additional option displays the moon’s phases as a lunar calendar. Typical uses might be planning a series of observing sessions for deep sky objects so that moonlight can be avoided, working out when a comet will be visible from your location at a reasonable altitude, or when a variable star will be visible.
GraphDark is best suited for summarising visibility of an object over a period of weeks or months, for example the apparition of a comet. Alternatively a number of objects on a single night can be displayed. By clicking on the timetable more information is provided for that particular instant in graphical or tabular form.
However, if you need a more realistic display of what the sky looks like at a particular time then a planetarium type program would be more suitable, there are plenty to choose from.» | | | Version: | 2.04 | | Filesize: | 2.38 MB | | Added on: | 01-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 497 | | Rating: | 9.7 (3 Votes) | | Category: | Windows / Ephemerides - General Purpose | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (2) | |
WinEphem  | | Description: | The best things come in simple packages, they say, and this program proves it.
Shows in a practical fashion the ephemerides of the solar system bodies, as well as of the 110 objects of Messier's catalogue and of a few prominent stars and deep space objects. Also allows to input new comets, asteroids, stars or whatever. Along with the celestial coordinates, altitude, azimuth, sun distance, magnitude, phase et cetera..., it calculates rise, transit and set times; and topocentric and geocentric distances | | | Version: | 1.09 | | Filesize: | 84.96 Kb | | Added on: | 01-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 652 | | Rating: | 9.0 (1 Vote) | | Category: | Windows / Ephemerides - General Purpose | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| WinAstro | | Description: | Conversion among calendars and coordinate systems; planetary ephemeris; oppositions and elongations; physical ephemeris; natural satellites ephemeris; rise, transit and set times; ephemeris of comets and asteroids; lunar phases and eclipses; seasons; sidereal time and nutation; calculation of aberration parameters; equation of time; sundials design; equinoxes (orbital elements); calculation of refraction parameters; conversion among equatorial, horizontal, ecliptic and galactical coordinates and, finally, calculation of lunar occultations of the planets.
The interfaces are a bit primary, though.
This is the Windows version.There is also a DOS version. | | | Version: | ? | | Filesize: | 6.15 MB | | Added on: | 01-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 514 | | Category: | Windows / Ephemerides - General Purpose | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| Astronomic Clock | | Description: | ASTRONOM provides a host of data on the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets seen from anywhere on Earth. Information, plotted on an altazimuth chart and accompanying tables, includes local sunrise and sunset times, solar disk size, Earth-Sun distance, Moon phases, equatorial coordinates, a planetary ephemeris, and an eclipse locator. The positions of the planets may be changed in steps of a second, minute, hour, day, week, and month, or follow the system clock.
Attractive graphics. Well integrated functions.

| Dark Skies | | Description: | Application created to help determine the times of the year when the night sky will be totally dark and to show the results in a graphical fashion.
Plots the times of sunset and sunrise for the entire year or any given month for any location, the end of twilight in the evening and the start of twilight in the morning. | | | Version: | 1.14 | | Filesize: | 146.00 Kb | | Added on: | 01-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 557 | | Category: | Windows / Ephemerides - General Purpose | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| Ephemeris Tool | | Description: | Software to calculate all sorts of ephemeris-tables. Allows you to create Microsoft Excel *.xls-files. Extremely good and complete.
From Asteroid Database up to Variable Stars, from Jupiter moon events up to Occultations you find everything you need for computing ephemerides for your observations. More than 100 free configurable ephemeris values can be computed easily, more than the biggest almanach could provide.
Additional files, available in its homepage, offer increased accuracy.

| Win-OCCULT | | Description: | «OCCULT is a shareware program which provides occultation observers with a comprehensive package to support their program of observing. OCCULT 4.2 is available for DOS while Win-OCCULT has been written for Windows 95.
Features: Lunar Ocultation Predictions; Record and Reduce Occultation Observations; Predict Asteroidal and Planetary Occultations of Stars; Solar and Lunar Eclipse Predictions, and Transits; Compute Planetary Ephemerides, and perform general astronomical Conversions and Functions.
OCCULT includes the full PPM as well as other catalogues, and gives you the opportunity to construct your own specialist star catalogues (e.g.from the Hubble GSC).
Win-OCCULT (also named WinOccult) includes all the features of the DOS version, plus some new material. Modules (contents described above) included in this version are: Predictions; Reductions; Eclipses; Ephemeris; Asteroidal occultations; Baily Beads.
