Resources currently sorted by:Popularity (Ascending) MODAS | | Description: | MODAS stands for «Modern Optical Design and Analysis Software». A telescope design software of the most popular telescope systems used by the amateur astronomers and telescope makers.
Full version, without limitations, up to 25 optical surfaces.
This is the DOS version; there is also a (newer) Windows version available (check Windows > ATM ). | | | Version: | 2.48 | | Filesize: | 1.05 MB | | Added on: | 07-Sep-2003 | | Downloads: | 253 | | Category: | DOS | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| Nuit | | Description: | Conceived under a philosophy of simplicity allied to efficiency. For when you face the question "how's the sky tonight? Let me take a look..." and choose to do a stress relieving casual observation.
This program will not let you down, neither will he run you mad trying to figure out how to plot a chart amidst piles of menus and options... as many may.
It was idealized to naked eye observation and it draws stars until mag 5, the brightest planets and the most popular Messier objects - a frugality inversely proportional to its speed.
Buttons are provided to give you quick access to the local horizon on all cardinal points, and ephemeris of the Sun, Moon and planets are also offered. Additionally you may choose to input new objects, such as comets. A summary table of daily events and a tool to find planetary conjunctions complete the set.
This is the DOS version. A newer Windows version is equally available. | | | Version: | 4.01 | | Filesize: | 166.02 Kb | | Added on: | 01-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 285 | | Category: | DOS | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
 OCCULT | | Description: | «OCCULT is a shareware program which provides occultation observers with a comprehensive package to support their program of observing. OCCULT 4.2 is available for DOS while Win-OCCULT has been written for Windows 95.
Features: Lunar Ocultation Predictions; Record and Reduce Occultation Observations; Predict Asteroidal and Planetary Occultations of Stars; Solar and Lunar Eclipse Predictions, and Transits; Compute Planetary Ephemerides, and perform general astronomical Conversions and Functions.
OCCULT includes the full PPM as well as other catalogues, and gives you the opportunity to construct your own specialist star catalogues (e.g.from the Hubble GSC)
The full installation of OCCULT 4.2 and Win-OCCULT is available. However if you choose to download we request that you contact Graham Blow (Graham.Blow@actrix.gen.nz) so we can keep track of usage and advise you of bugfixes, etc.» | | | Version: | 4.2 | | Filesize: | 10.49 MB | | Added on: | 07-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 291 | | Category: | DOS | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| Our Cosmohood | | Description: | Classical cosmology program - the first version dates back to 1992, the latest release is from 1999.
It offers a 3D model of the closest 2368 galaxies and an animation of a guided visit where, step by step, an explanation is provided on the organization and structure of the nearby universe

| Meteor | | Description: | Specialized software for the detection and registration of radio echoes produced by meteor showers (falling stars) at the time of their entry in the atmosphere.
Suitable to all those who possess a radio receiver and a computer and have an interest in this simple technique of radio astronomy.
Support documentation available in the homepage.

| Satf | | Description: | Satellite tracking set of utilities allowing you:
. to analyze one or more satellites over a given period;
. to classify by chronological order the passes obtained for this period;
. to visualize the movements of a satellite around an Earth globe;
. to visualize the movements of a satellite in the sky from any location;
. to see a pre-prepared demonstration of the program capabilities;
. to try to identify a satellite seen by chance;
. to read a TLE file of orbital elements and selectively create another only with the satellites you picked;
. to update the files considering the standard magnitudes;
. to store the data for new locations;
. to classify a TLE by order decreasing order of NORAD numbers;
. to analyze the passes of satellites even if they are not visible (useful for radio amateurs).
The programs are programmed in DOS. They will run in Windows too.

| Newt | | Description: | Assists the design of Newtonian telescopes.
Allows one to quickly test several parameters and displays the effect graphically on a telescope's model. Ideal also for those willing to understand the functioning of a reflector scope of the Newtonian type.
Simple, attractive and small.

| Desorb, Univers, MSA and Photom | | Description: | Desorb traces and prints the orbit of a chosen comet and, by reference, the position of the Earth.
Univers produces image models of the different Universe models/theories (expanding, De Sitter, etc...).
MSA - Millenium Star Atlas gives you the page and volume of this Atlas according to R.A. and Dec.
Photom is useful for variable stars observation.

| GrandTour | | Description: | GRANDTOUR can simulate space as
seen from the Voyager and Giotto spacecraft. In addition, GRANDTOUR can
generate scenes from arbitrary points in space or the Earth, with the
spacecraft visible to the observer. The planet, moons, and rings of
interest (or comet, nucleus, and tail), stars, the sun, and the
spacecraft are all accurately drawn with wireframe representations.
Hidden line removal is done for the body surfaces. The motions of the
bodies themselves are highly accurate, with errors no greater than 500
kilometers. The user has considerable control over the time step, field of
view, etc., and many frames per second are typically generated.
The program was originally developed at the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory by John D. Callahan to assist in the analysis of science and optical navigation
data. In addition, the program was filmed by the BBC as part of a NOVA
documentary on the Voyager Uranus encounter, and by the Four Point
Entertainment Company for a commercially available video on Halley's
Comet. Program conveniently runs from any Windows/DOS.
