Stargazer's Delight
|
Description
Stargazer's Delight shows you:
- all the stars up to magnitide 10 (over 260,000 stars)
- the sky, seen from any location on earth
- planets, minor planets, galaxies, star clusters etc.
- all constellations and their boundaries, the phases of the moon,
the apparent brightness of the planets, the length of day...
- the paths of the planets, animations of the sky, great pictures of
the planets etc.
- animated tutorials on selected astronomical questions and much
more!
Changes in version 5.0:
- Stars can be displayed according to the zoom factor (that means only
the bright ones will be drawn in a big field of view and the more you
zoom in the more stars appear). There's more data available for each
star, incl. spectral type, SAO Number and more.
- Besides the huge star database there are a few small improvements like
control-clicking on the stars to get information without always having
to close the data window.
- Various bugs and issues are fixed, among others:
- the centering on certain constellations was wrong
- a bug in the pop-up menus in the search star window
- better display of the magnitude
- some stars around the poles weren't drawn in certain situations
English and German versions available.
