Access to Star Catalogs

This handy utility lets you access external star catalogs like GSC and USNO CDROM. You can even control computerized GoTo telescope mounts using the universal ASCOM package. How cool is that?

Import and Save Data Easily

Hallo Northern Sky allows you to import data from FITS files—these store scientific images and calibration info.

Edit Asteroids and Comets

This tool comes with built-in text editors that let you edit information about asteroids and comets easily. You can cut, copy, paste, delete stuff—basically do any basic editing you need! Want to change font style or color? No problem!

Search for Celestial Objects

A neat feature lets you search for constellations, stars, deep-sky objects, planets—you name it! Just type in what you're looking for or use preset lists. Double-click on an object and bam—it shows its spot on the map!

User-Defined Locations

You can set up custom positions by entering right ascension and declination details. Feel like flipping the map? You can do that too! Keep North always up if that's your thing.
