Planetarium Software

Designed for anyone who demands the utmost in realism, richness of detail, and depth of information in astronomy software, Starry Night Pro offers unrivaled desktop planetarium performance. Featuring over 19 million celestial objects, Starry Night Pro provides instantaneous access to our unique 3D implementation of the complete Hipparcos star database; plus the Hubble GSC, NGC/IC, and PGC catalogues; as well as the Messier deep-space objects. You’re limited only by your curiosity.

Navigate your way through 20,000 light years of space with unparalleled speed and smoothness. View an eclipse from planet, its moon, or the sun…simultaneously. Generate dynamic Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams and proper motion vectors, track satellites, and print customized star charts. Control the flow of time, visit the past and future, and freely edit your physical horizon to match local conditions. Employ the powerful expansion capabilities to add databases and CCD images, write plug-ins, and tailor the screen value to match your telescope’s exact eyepieces.
