DeskNite



Now Windows is your window on the stars!


DeskNite with Stella and Winglobe. The Complete astronomy suite!
DeskNite (back) with Stella and Winglobe.
DeskNite talks to Winglobe too!

With light pollution levels set to increase steeply as the Millennium passes by, fewer and fewer of Earth's population will be granted their right to gaze upon the grandeur of a dark night sky. Chances are good that you will be among that unfortunate majority.

Simple wonder at the stars has been humanity's birthright since the dawn of prehistory. Now technology is depriving us of our own two eyes' sight of the very Universe from which we were formed.

DeskNite will help you redress that injustice and restore to your eyes their stellar birthright. You can be bounded in a nutshell (of pollution and madcap Russian orbital streetlighting) yet still count yourself ruler of infinite space, because DeskNite *is* the night sky in that splendour which our forbears would have witnessed each time the sun set. Your Windows desktop is about to become the window on the heavens which your 21st Century environment is already hatching plans to deny you.

DeskNite is not primarily a planetarium program or observing suite like Stella 2000;

DeskNite is far more fundamental. Its kernal may be used in the same way as AstroTray -- an invaluable pocket planisphere always available at the click of a button right from your System Tray, but that is not its main function. DeskNite's avowed mission is nothing less than the permanent transformation of your desktop into the night sky itself.

So, change Windows into your night-time sky NOW. Desktop astronomy has seldom been more dynamic, with an infinitely configurable display of over 3000 stars, 9 planets, Sun, Moon, Messier and NGC objects in point source and photoplate display styles, with Stereographic, Equal Area, Equidistant, and Orthographic projection models, flexible Alt/Az viewpoints; Constellation, Horizon, Ecliptic, and Aequator lines; Constellation lines and boundaries; Horizon and Equatorial grids, Dynamic Sky, auto-center, informative realtime readouts, and much more.

AND DESKNITE IS FREE!
