| Mirapla | | Description: | Mirapla Sky is designed for learners. It provides a realistic view of the stars as seen with the unaided eye, which allows you to practise identifying stars and constellations during daylight hours, and when the weather is cloudy. Due to its high degree of realism and simplicity it is recommended for learning the constellations in conjunction with a paper planisphere.
Originally built for DOS it later get a basic Windows interface (title link, above).
An Italian plain DOS version can also be found here. | | | Version: | 1.2.1 | | Filesize: | 273.47 Kb | | Added on: | 07-Apr-2004 | | Downloads: | 417 | | Category: | Windows / Planetariums | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| The Milky Way for SkyMap Pro 6 and above | | Description: | A failure of SkyMap, in both the demonstration and full versions, is the inability of plotting the Milky Way.
José R. Vieira, a Brazilian amateur astronomer, has brilliantly solved this problem by creating a set of files which work as external catalogues and allow the program to plot the Milky Way according to 5 levels of luminosity.
To proceed with the installation, a rather simple task, just download the Zip file and follow the instructions described in the included "ReadMe.wri". | | | Version: | 1.0 | | Filesize: | 585.94 Kb | | Added on: | 01-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 422 | | Category: | Windows / Planetariums | | Rate resource | Details | |
| SkyChart III | | Description: | SkyChart III, shipping today, gives you 19 million stars, 1 million galaxies, thousands of solar system and deep sky objects, satellite tracking, and computer control for Meade and Celestron telescopes-- all on one CD-ROM for Windows and Macintosh at an unbeatable price.
The demo version of the program can't perform any high-precision planetary ephemeris computations, and its database contains only 12,000 objects (instead of the 19 million on the CD-ROM). However, all other features of the demo version are fully functional. This demo version is release 3.5.1; some of the new features in our latest release (3.6) are not present. | | | Version: | 3.6 | | Filesize: | 3.84 MB | | Added on: | 27-Oct-2003 | | Downloads: | 485 | | Category: | Windows / Planetariums | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
