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: | 662 | | Rating: | 9.0 (1 Vote) | | Category: | Windows / Ephemerides - General Purpose | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |

| NightCal | | Description: | NIGHTCAL - NEW VERSION RELEASED 6TH JANUARY 2006
NightCal is a simple, practical tool for basic observation session planning. It produces a single A4 sheet monthly calendar telling the user when it gets dark, when the Moon rises and sets and what the Moon should look like when it does make an appearance. It also provides data on the elongation of the inferior planets and a quick aide mémoire for planetary conjunctions. The output is designed to be printed so that you can stick it on your notice board at home or at work or saved as a graphics file for inclusion in newsletters or publishing on the web. We hope you find it useful.
This new version (0.7.2) contains many improvements including:
- Full installation program.
- Ability to view help files from within NightCal.
- New special greyscale calendar printing option optimised for viewing printed output in red light.
- Southern hemisphere users can now have the Moon graphic rotated.
- Implementation of options window to allow you to control the display of calendar information and to alter some default values, including:
- Option to input/display latitude and longitude in decimals.
- Option to start calendar on any day of the week.
- Option for which form of evening twilight to display (Civil, Nautical or Astronomical) - Half hour increments introduced for time zones. Plus numerous other enhancements, tweaks and minor bug fixes. Please note that the minimum operating system specification has been changed from Windows ‘95 to Windows ‘98.

| Meteoracle | | Description: | Meteoracle is a tool that can be used to predict meteor activity for a given place and time. While it attempts to give actual numbers, it's main power is that:
- it allows you to see the observing conditions on a given night,
- it allows you to quickly compare activity on several nights and
- it allows you to compare activity during different parts of a night.
Meteoracle is a helpfull tool to plan observations while it also gives an indication of the actual activity that can be expected. | | | Version: | 1.16 | | Filesize: | 1.67 MB | | Added on: | 29-Dec-2005 | | Downloads: | 645 | | Rating: | 9.0 (1 Vote) | | Category: | Windows / Ephemerides - General Purpose | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| Lever et Coucher du Soleil dans le monde | | Description: | Using this program you will be able to know at any given instant of the day where, over the globe, the Sun is transiting the meridian. You will also be able to get for a chosen location (which you can pick by clicking an Earth Map) the rise and set times of the Sun, for all the days of the year.
It is possible to zoom in order to get an astonishing precision.
A research module with the details of over 3500 cities in 250 countries is included. | | | Version: | 2.0 | | Filesize: | 1.33 MB | | Added on: | 09-Mar-2004 | | Downloads: | 527 | | Category: | Windows / Ephemerides - General Purpose | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
