In depth

A closer look at Sky Charts

The purpose of this program is to prepare different sky maps for a particular observation. A large number of parameters help you select specifically or automatically which catalogs to use, the color and the dimension of stars and nebulae, the representation of planets, the display of labels and coordinate grids, the superposition of pictures, the condition of visibility, and more.

Sky Charts includes eight star catalogs and seven nebulae ones, each containing from thousands to millions of stars.

Any sky chart can be superposed with images of the sky, and the program is also available in French, German, and Italian.

You can zoom in and out, search for particular items using various parameters (coordinates, orientation, and more), display a grid, list all the objects in the current windows, save information to a BMP or WMF file, and more.

In addition, you can configure colors and fonts, and use the built-in calendar.
