Stellarium 0.19.1.1

Stellarium is a free open source planetarium for your computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. It is being used in planetarium projectors. Just set your coordinates and go.

Stellarium key features:

• Realistic simulation of the sky, sunrise and sunset
• Default catalogue of over 600,000 stars
• Downloadable additional catalogues for up to 210 million stars
• Catalog data for all New General Catalogue (NGC) objects
• Images of almost all Messier objects and the Milky Way
• Artistic illustrations for all 88 modern constellations
• More than a dozen different cultures with their constellations
• Solar and lunar eclipse simulation
• Photorealistic landscapes (more are available on the website)
• Scripting support with ECMAScript (a few demo scripts are included)
• Extendable with plug-ins: 8 plug-ins installed by default, including:
• artificial satellites plug-in (updated from an on-line TLE database)
• ocular simulation plug-in (shows how objects look like in a given ocular)
• Solar System editor plug-in (imports comet and asteroid data from the MPC)
• telescope control plug-in (Meade LX200 and Celestron NexStar compatible)
