SkyChart (Cartes du Ciel)
SkyChart lets users
draw sky charts, making use of the data in 16
catalogs of stars and nebulae. In addition the position of planets,
asteroids and comets are shown.
The purpose of this program is to prepare different sky maps
for a
particular observation. A large number of parameters help you to choose
specifically or automatically which catalogs to use, the colour and the
dimension of stars and nebulae, the representation of planets, the
display of labels and coordinate grids, the superposition of pictures,
the condition of visibility and more.
All these features make this celestial atlas more complete
than a conventional planetarium.
Features include:
- 2.8 million world cities database
- Galactic and Ecliptic chart projection
- Superimpose images over digitzed sky survey charts
- Galactic and Ecliptic chart projection
- Telescope tracking using INDI
- Observatory database
- TCP/IP server capability
- Online pictures
- CatGen, a Catalog build tool
