Hallo Northern Sky
This astronomy program Hallo northern sky plots the night sky for any time and location. It displays all stars to about magnitude 12 (Tycho-2 2.5 million stars) and 10607 SAC deep sky objects. It also shows all planets, Moon, Sun, moons of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, phases of the Moon and inner planets, solar and lunar eclipses, rings of Saturn and minor planets and comets. HNSKY has the ability to use the GSC or "Guide Star Catalog" and or USNO SA1.0 / A2.0/SA2.0 CD-ROM databases with a limiting magnitude of about 15 or more. Our Review: A very good astrology program that gives you a cool 3D view of the solar system. All the planets are there, as well as constellations and other stars. It is presented in a globe-like format that you can rotate and zoom in and out of. Also, if you imput the current date and time, the program will update to show the exact allignment of the planets. Hallo Northern Sky also gives you the co-ordinates of each object. Excellent for star gazers as well as students.
