Updated asteroid and comet data can be downloaded free of charge from this web site, or automatically updated from the internet from within the program.ĭisplay a wide range of different coordinate grids and scale lines showing altitude/azimuth, RA/dec, ecliptic and galactic coordinates.ĭisplay pictures of more than 15,000 astronomical objects from the picture collection supplied with SkyMap Pro. Positions have an accuracy of a small fraction of an arc second.ĭisplay the names, official boundary lines, and 'stick figures' of all 88 constellations.ĭisplay the positions of all known asteroids and comets. Virtually every object which can be observed in a typical amateur telescope (and many that can't be!) are included in SkyMap Pro's extensive databases.ĭisplay the positions of the Sun, Moon, and major planets. The 2.5 million brightest stars are displayed with (approximately) their true colours.ĭisplay more than 200,000 deep sky objects - star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, and so on.

The program's evolution has always been primarily guided by feedback from existing users of the program, thus making it the ideal tool for use by the practical amateur astronomer.Īmongst the basic facilities of SkyMap Pro are the following:Įasily move the map around the sky, zoom in and out, and rotate the map with a single key press or click of the mouse button.ĭisplay more than 15 million stars as faint as magnitude 15. SkyMap Pro 11 is the end result of almost 20 years of development work (work on the program started in 1986) and the program is used by many thousands of astronomers all over the world.

GPS positioning, accelerometers control of the direction of view in the sky.

3D rendering of the major solar system planets and their satellites.

accurate simulation of stars extinction, and atmosphere refraction.

realistic landscape and atmosphere with sunrise, sunset and light pollution simulation.

artificial satellites, including the International Space Station.

asterisms and illustrations of the constellations for several sky cultures.catalog of many nebulae and galaxies, with pictures for some of them.catalog of over 600,000 stars displayed as a real time zoomable sky map.The sensor control will also enable you to identify a star in just a few seconds, just by pointing the phone at the sky! This Plus version will also satisfy the mostdemanding astronomy enthusiasts thanks to its massive collection of skyobjects (up to magnitude 22 versus magnitude 10 in the standard version)and advanced observing features for controlling telescopes or preparingobserving sessions. Stellariumshows a realistic and accurate night sky map, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. Stellarium plus is a fully-featured pro mobile sky map and planetarium for your android.
