Astronomy Software Astronomy Software In astronomy, there is a wide variety of software. In most cases, there are many different versions of software that do a particular thing. The most common reason for this is preference. While I use some of these software titles, I am in no way endorsing one brand over another. All of the software listed here are popular among the amateur astronomer population; in fact, it is common for one person to have several different programs that do about the same thing - the features of one might be missing in another, but that other may excel in something else (if that makes sense). The ASP has releaced a PDF file of astronomy related apps for the iPhone and Android.

en:start [Skychart] This program enables you to draw sky charts, making use of the data in many 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. The software itself is released under the GPL license. The different catalog data are generally public domain but an acknowledgment to the original catalog author is require if you use this data for your research. You are free to use any chart or print produced by the program for any use, commercial or not (blog, web publication, printed book,…). You can help the project in different way, no need to be a programmer.
