High-quality open source astronomical software, which is not mandatory for using SIGETA telescopes, but will be very useful at the preparatory stage
The planetarium application window is divided into three parts, in which the selected area of space is displayed at different scales

Planetarium software, telescope software

SkyChart - a program for reproducing star maps, one of the best free planetarium programs. It allows you to calculate emergences (tables of stellar coordinates) of astronomical objects, dates of solar and lunar eclipses and much more. Besides, this software can monitor computerized mounts of real telescopes. Installers for Win-32bit, Win-64bit and Unix-like operating systems can be downloaded here. The full astronomical catalog of SkyChart contains almost all known space objects, except for the ISS and other artificial satellites, but it is not included in the basic version of the program: working with such an array of information would require almost 30 GB of RAM.

C2A (Computer Aided Astronomy) - similar to SkyChart semi-professional desktop program, will be useful even for experienced researchers. Its only disadvantage is that it works only under Windows. Download Setup of the desktop program:   Windows

Stellarium is used in projection planetariums with a spherical or flat ceiling, with the help of this software you can get realistic images of starry sky objects right on the ceiling of the room. It is able to simulate the use of a telescope, has many useful settings and a developed system of applications. Download the Portable Apps version that does not require installation:   Windows
. Versions for installation on Win64, Mac OS and Linux are available on the official website Stellarium.org.

Astronomical software for mobile devices

A lot of astronomical software has also been developed for users of mobile gadgets, most of which can be found on the AppStore and GooglePlay. Especially popular are the so-called starry sky navigators: in order to navigate among the twinkling variety of stars, it is sufficient just to point the smartphone camera at the selected area of the sky. The names of the recognized objects will instantly appear on the screen, and a light tap on any of them will open a window with additional information. It is clear that a smartphone with such software can help owners of a conventional (non-automated) telescope during pointing.

Among the sky-navigators the undisputed leaders are Star Chart from Escapist Games Limited and Star Walk 2 from Vito Technology (from the developments of this company it is worth noting also the picturesque children's Atlas of Space).

  • StarChart pocket planetarium Android
  • StarWalk2 space navigator for smartphone Android
  • StarWalk Kids 2 children's star atlas Android

Both "adult" programs have a paid version with additional functionality, but there are more than enough free options for review. In addition, it is always possible to upgrade the installed free version to Premium.

StarChart free can also be downloaded from App Store for iOS
Unlike StarChart, StarWalk 2 for iOS is not free and will cost the user $3
