Thanks!
Thanks!

Definitely.mreq said:I want to recreate astrological events with it. Can it do that ?
It is a processor hog, that's for sure. I'll give Stellarium a try.Mu naught said:I hate this progam. I recommend Stellarium, its free and open source and much less clunky to use than starrynight.
russ_watters said:Definitely.
Well if you want to do it now and cheap, just download Stellarium and try it! I've already done it since this morning - I'm surprised you haven't! In Stellarium (or most other programs) you just enter your location and date/time and just click on the sun and it'll tell you where it is.mreq said:Can i see the sun in constelations (by degrees) ? How ?
How do i go back in time ?KalamMekhar said:http://space.jpl.nasa.gov/"
That is another awesome one, which shows more than just planets, and let's you view something from another thing. (very descriptive)

For instance, here is a screen shot of the program showing the Feb 26, 1979 total solar eclipse as seen from Portland, Or.
Yes. If you want to use a different one, you'll have to make the conversion yourself.mreq said:What about the time ? Is it gregorian ? Can it be switched ?
mreq said:Why the Earth is in Gemini constelation. Shouldn't be in Cancer ?
Astronomy software is a type of computer program that is specifically designed for astronomers to aid in their research and observations. Its purpose is to help astronomers analyze and interpret data, simulate astronomical events, and make accurate predictions.
Some important features to consider when choosing professional astronomy software include accuracy, ease of use, compatibility with different operating systems, data visualization tools, and the ability to handle large datasets. It is also important to consider the specific needs and research goals of the user when selecting a software.
Some widely used professional astronomy software include Starry Night Pro Plus, SkySafari, Stellarium, TheSkyX, and MaxIm DL. These software offer a variety of features such as 3D visualization, telescope control, and data analysis tools.
While professional astronomy software may offer advanced features and tools, it is not necessary for amateur astronomers. There are many free or low-cost astronomy software options available that can still provide valuable information and aid in observations for amateur astronomers.
Professional astronomy software can greatly enhance the accuracy and efficiency of astronomical research and observations. It can also provide access to advanced tools and features that may not be available in free software. Additionally, professional astronomy software is often regularly updated and supported by a team of experts, ensuring its reliability and usefulness.
