Resources currently sorted by: Popularity (Ascending) PRODOBS | | Description: | «PRODOBS is a deepsky database developed in Javascript, so one could use it as a kind of plug-in for the Internet browser. It contains 1152 objects from the SAC database up to 11 mag and will allow the user to create sophisticated queries (PRODOBS uses the engine of the open-source-project jsSQL).
Furthermore, PRODOBS contains a sky atlas and detailed finder charts for each deepsky object (created with GUIDE). If the user is interested, he/she can follow object-related links to astronomical servers like NED, SIMBAD and WEBDA in order to get more information.» | | | Version: | ? | | Filesize: | 167.00 Kb | | Added on: | 01-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 482 | | Category: | Windows / Cartography & Atlases | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
StarCat  | | Description: | Starcat is a viewer for the Bright Star, Hipparcos and Tycho star catalogs. The default catalog is the Bright Star Catalog with over 9000 stars.

| Atlas Gnomónico | | Description: | Assists the visual observation of meteors. Produces gnomonic projection charts, with any given center and at different scales. Optionally plots several help elements, such as a triangle for the MALE calculation, radiants, reticule…; allows the edition of the data of the radiant and prints charts as well as producing several lists/reports. | | | Filesize: | 537.11 Kb | | Added on: | 15-Dec-2003 | | Downloads: | 887 | | Rating: | 9.0 (1 Vote) | | Category: | Windows / Cartography & Atlases | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (1) | |
 Lunar Calculator | | Description: | Moon atlas and ephemerides calculator.
Features include:
- over 7,400 craters, mons, et cetera including landing sites
- Full 3-D accurate topocentric libration
- upside-down and mirror reversed capability
- USGS texture, Clementine imagery, USGS-Clementine blend, wire frame
- Clementine and USGS high resolution imagery to 0.5km (0.3 mile) per pixel
- Dynamic shading of the USGS map: reversed highlights/shadows for post full Moon time, reduced texture for high Sun angles away from the terminator, and crater rims and peaks on the dark side of the terminator
- re-sizeable up to 1200x1200
- contrast/brightness/earthshine control
- "Go to" and "identify" features
- crater outline and grid overlays
- choice to create orthographic/geocentric rendering
- animating libration graphs; notes full Moon and whether limb light/dark
- search for similar or stronger librations
- search for young and old crescents that satisfy your criteria
- searches for altitude/aziumth conditions to satisfy your visual and photographic needs
- user specified (artificial) librations
- user specified prefered magnifications
- automatic grid spacing
- multiple observatory sites
- detailed HELP file
In freeware mode, Lunar Calculator comes with Clementine imagery and USGS texure map and blends at 5 km (3 mi) per pixel, and is limited to a 35 day interval on each side of the calendar date. Also it will not plot the smallest features (less than 3km/1.8mi),
Registered users receive the NASA Vol 15 Clementine LDIM CD at no extra cost and the USGS texture map at 0.5 km (0.3 mile) per pixel

| LunaView 2000 | | Description: | The most popular feature of LunaView 2000 is its simple to use "Point & Click" lunar globe. Mare labels, crater names, image maps with supporting text are simply one click away! The current phase of the moon can be seen in the remote control monitor window while rise and set times can viewed from a selection of capital cities around the world. There is also a detailed database referencing lunar surface features and history behind the names.
Important note: The program presents only a Southern Hemisphere perspective. Only the smaller phase window seen at right can be set for Northern Hemisphere views.

| DomeView | | Description: | A lunar cartography program whose aim is to ease the identification of lunar features - and especially of domes.
The functions include, namely: a lunar atlas («zoomable»; using pictures from the Clementine mission); ability to log/take notes of observations made; calculation of lunar ephemerides. | | | Version: | 1.1 | | Filesize: | 27.68 MB | | Added on: | 15-May-2004 | | Downloads: | 994 | | Rating: | 10.0 (3 Votes) | | Category: | Windows / Cartography & Atlases | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (2) | |
| Blue Marble Viewer (BMV) | | Description: | BMV provides users with a visualization tool of the entire NASA Blue Marble Data imagery, by paging in regions of interest as the user interacts with Planet Earth with the computer mouse.
About NASA´s Blue Marble Data: using a collection of satellite-based observations, scientists and visualizers stitched together months of observations of the land surface, oceans, sea ice, and clouds into a seamless, true-color mosaic of every square kilometer (.386 square mile) of our planet.
Much of the information came from a single remote-sensing device-NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS, flying over 700 km above the Earth onboard the Terra satellite.
The current version of BMV uses 5 levels of detail ranging from a virtual image of 2560 x 1280 pixels (level 0) to 40960 x 20480 pixels (level 4).
The Windows installation includes two cumulative packages. The first package (about 32 MB) installs the run-time software, some auxiliary data, and levels 0-2 of the base imagery. The second package installs levels 3 and 4 of the base imagery and is (about 260 MB in size).
Using source code you may eventually compile the program for other operative systems.
