Overview
is an excellent astronomy program for both the novice and professional astronomer.
In depth
You can determine the level of detail to display on the map for the stars, constellations, planets, and deep sky objects. You can simply click on an object to display information about it.
You can vary the map background with the current time of day. If it's currently day time the background will be blue. If it's night time and the Moon isn't up, the background will be black. If it's twilight, or night time with the Moon above the horizon, the background will be purple.
You can use the powerful search feature to quickly locate and display any star, constellation, planet, deep sky object, or comet.
Once you have a map exactly as you want it, you can print it on any printer supported by Windows, in either black and white or color.
SkyMap is designed to be extremely accurate (Planetary positions, for example, have a mean error of less than a half second of arc), so it is equally suited for both the novice astronomer and the serious amateur or professional astronomer.
Other features include: an observing log, observation planning tools, satellite orbit predictions, solar and lunar eclipse predictions (and maps), and a user-defined horizon line.
