This star chart is optimized for simple and fast star, planet, Messier, and Caldwell object identification. Single click on any body to retrieve the name, designation, calculated altitude, azimuth and magnitude. Drag the cursor to scroll the chart. You can also zoom in and out with a single click.
The program displays orbital paths for inner solar system bodies, showing daily positions for one year, centered on the current date. It provides animation of the sky in increments of hours, days, weeks or months.
Black, white and red star chart colors for normal, bright and night viewing conditions are supported. Charts can be rotated to any of the 16 compass points and flipped along the north/south axis. The polar grid includes hour angle and declination labels, or Zenith grids. |
