SKYCHART III
SkyChart III is an advanced planetarium program that accurately
simulates and displays the sky as it appears in the present, as
well as thousands of years in the past or future. The sky can be
viewed from any place on Earth, or from any object in the solar
system or beyond it. And, SkyChart III supports a number of popular
computer-controlled telescopes and digital encoders, allowing you
to enjoy the benefits of computer aided observing.
SkyChart III is provided on a CD-ROM that includes both the
Windows and Macintosh versions of the program. The database on
the CD-ROM contains the entire Hubble Guide Star Catalog - over
19 million objects! The CD also includes a smaller database of
300,000 objects based on NASA's SKY2000 Master Star Catalog.
SkyChart III will be available from this website soon for $40.00 US which includes shipping
or from Southern Stars Systems for $49.00 US
