Resources currently sorted by: Date (New downloads listed first) Conversiones  | | Description: | This software does three sorts of calculations:
- Conversion between degrees and hours, sexagesimal and decimal.
- Equivalence between measures of distance, including astronomical scales (Astronomical Unit, Light Year and Parsec).
- Conversion amidst Kelvin, Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature measuring scales. Considering humidity values you can also calculate the condensation point.

 Sun Spotter (Windows) | | Description: | Sun Spotter is a simple tool for grabbing the latest white-light image of the Sun, taken from the SOHO web site. The image corresponds to the sort of view you would see using a telescope equipped with a standard solar filter. Some brief notes are included to explain what it is you're looking at. Intended for amateur astronomers and teachers/students interested in the Sun. | | | Version: | 1 | | Filesize: | 728.00 Kb | | Added on: | 03-Jan-2006 | | Downloads: | 780 | | Category: | Windows / Miscellaneous | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| MoonIcon | | Description: | Places up to tree icons representing the status of the Moon, Mars and the Earth on the toolbar of Windows. Clicking one of them gives you access to a box with detailed ephemeris of the Moon, Sun, Mars, Earth (including the current year in 12 calendars) and Solar System (orrey).
Also provided are large graphics with the phases of the Moon and Mars and the current sunlit side of the Earth.

| Fireball | | Description: | Fireball is free software to calculate the atmospheric trajectory and heliocentric orbit of meteoroids. The trajectory is presumed linear and the Earth spherical.
In order to calculate atmospheric trajectory and orbit of meteoroids, Fireball needs:
1- Data and hour (Universal Time) of the observed fireball
2- Geographical location of two observer that observed the same fireball
3- Equatorial coordinates of two trajectory points from observer number 1
4- Equatorial coordinates of two trajectory points (not the same of observer 1) from observer number 2
5- Duration of the fireball from the two observers
Press the button <Trajectory> to calculate atmospheric trajectory. The file "Trajectory.txt", with all the data, will be written in the Fireball folder. The most important data are written also at the bottom of the window dialog.
Check the resulting mean velocity value. If you want an orbit for this velocity value press the button <Orbit> otherwise put a new value and press. The file "Orbit.txt" with all the data will be written in the Fireball folder.
Correction applied to atmospheric velocity to obtain eliocentric value:
- Earth's rotation
- Diurnal aberration
- Terrestrial gravitation
- Earth's orbital motion
No correction for atmospheric deceleration. | | | Version: | 1 | | Filesize: | 148.00 Kb | | Added on: | 06-Jan-2005 | | Downloads: | 740 | | Category: | Windows / Miscellaneous | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| Easy Light - Save the Sky | | Description: | Useful tool in the fight against light pollution! Now you can explain with detailed, circumstantiated and alternative plans what your local authorities are doing wrong.
Save the Sky is a light design software aimed to beginner and experts alike. Its purpose is to optimize the design of road lighting. It can, in the respect of security technical norm and rules:
- Optimize the interdistance (distance between poles/pole height) of fixtures;
- Minimize the installed power per street length,
- Minimize the minimum maintained luminance;
- choose the better fixtures and make the most of them;v
- Last but not least lower the direct and indirect light flux aimed at the sky (as requested by the most effective laws against light pollution like that of the Italian region Lombardy).
Achieving these goals allow us to light roads respecting the night sky and its cultural heritage of incalculable value for us and future generations.
Usually in other light design software, the designer chooses the street and installation parameters, then he compares if the processed results meets the technical rules. The design is done.
This software, chosen the street dimensions and the values imposed by the rules, optimize the calculus variables (like pole heigh, distance, tilt and so on) in order to produce the best configuration needed. | | | Version: | 3.0 | | Filesize: | 15.26 MB | | Added on: | 09-Dec-2004 | | Downloads: | 697 | | Category: | Windows / Miscellaneous | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| CooReader2 | | Description: | A program to move your data from Brno maps to a file. Runs on Windows 95/98.
Lets you write down the trajectory, magnitude, speed and number of observed meteors; date and hour of the event; stream to which it belongs; observer's name and place of observation. The point is to later extract this info to a database.
Complements the program "Gnomon" (Gnomonic Atlas), also is available in AstroTips. | | | Filesize: | 2.48 MB | | Added on: | 16-Sep-2004 | | Downloads: | 637 | | Rating: | 8.0 (1 Vote) | | Category: | Windows / Miscellaneous | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (1) | |
| The Making of The Second Guide Star Catalog | | Description: | CD-ROM, available for download. This is a project that attempts to explains the substance, uses and complex methods adopted to produce the GSC-II catalog via a multimedia interactive interface. The content ranges from pretty pictures, through simple graphical descriptions to complex professional articles. It is aimed at a technically sophisticated level though does not require previous knowledge of Astronomy.
