Astronomy Software

http://live.pirillo.com/ – Sometimes it’s a pain to view the stars in the night sky – especially if you live in a big city, where pollution is a big problem, but there’s software which lets you not only view the night sky, but much more.

Stellarium is a free open source planetarium for your computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. It is being used in planetarium projectors. Just set your coordinates and go.

It’s a damn cool piece of software, it’s free, and it’s open source. What could be better?

-Well, just the sky itself could be better: http://www.sky-map.org/ .

Stellarium is decent, but if you really want to do actual stargazing you can’t beat Cartes du Ciel. I use it in my astronomy classes. It is also free.

an open source wonder…….

Darn you found it already. Is there something that i find that you ever don’t find. I didn’t think many people would no about this product. Once again Chris i commend your quickness in finding these products like Stellarium.
Thanks
