- Long Description
- -----------------
- Astronomica is an original astronomical software that gives you
- the possibility to observe the sky on your computer. Astronomica
- offers realistic views of entire sky as seen from any location
- on Earth, for any day in the past, present and future. You can
- selectively display stars, planets, deep sky objects, and enhance
- the display by drawing constellations, equatorial grids, ecliptic
- and more.
-
- Astronomica has easy-to-use interface that allows you quickly
- navigate within the map, search for celestial bodies and view
- detailed information about any visible object. Using the mouse
- buttons as well as the menu commands and the toolbar buttons,
- you can do everything with the celestial sphere and objects on it.
-
- With Astronomica, you can view the motions of the stars, Sun, Moon
- and planets over time and observe many interesting astronomical
- phenomena. The sky display can be also easily printed to take
- with you on skywatching journeys. Astronomica implements the WYSIWYG
- technology (What You See Is What You Get), so you can view exactly
- what you can get from the printer.
-
- One of the most impressive features of Astronomica is its capacity
- for displaying photographic images. There are two different ways
- to display an image: manually and automatically. Thousands of
- beautiful astronomical images are available on the Internet,
- so you can easily build your own collection that can be simply
- accessed in the program.
