Sky Planetarium Description

Sky Planetarium is a software application that was developed to act as a planetarium simulator. Sky Planetarium is an amateur astronomer's tool that puts an emphasis on practical usefulness. The software allows the user to get acquainted with the constellations / star names, plan observing sessions and control Meade or Celestron telescopes through the ASCOM telescope interface. Main features: Maps from nearly any time. From the distant past to the distant future. See the precession of the Earth's axis and how it affects the star's positions. The Magnifier Tool shows you what's under the cursor when you point to objects on the main map. This tool can mimic the view through various telescope/eyepiece combinations. It can also keep track of points of interest, which are locations you set on the map and can cycle through quickly with the number keys or via a menu selection. The Time Tool graphically shows sun rise/set and moon rise/set times along with Local time, UT etc. It's an analog clock and gives you a nice "feel" for the passage of time and it's effect on the night sky's appearance.
