Planet ephemeris data from Jet Propulsion Laboratory using the DE405 database.
. User interface optimized for simple and fast star, planet, Messier, and Caldwell object identification. Single click on any body to get the name, designation, calculated altitude, azimuth, and magnitude. Drag the cursor to scroll the chart. Zoom in and out with a single click.
. Display of orbital paths for inner solar system bodies showing daily positions for one year centered on current date.
. Animation of the sky in increments of hours, days, weeks, or months.
. Manual or automatic control of star magnitudes. Simple control over which objects to display.
. Black, white, and red star chart colors for normal, bright, and night viewing conditions, respectively.
