I’ve had a chance to play with it for a couple of weeks, and would like to share with you the things I particularly like about this new version.īy way of background, I’ve been an amateur astronomer for decades, and a Starry Night® user since version 2.1 in 1999. Get Vivo V11 Pro 64 GB (Starry Night) 6 GB RAM, Dual SIM 4G at lowest price in India. Starry Night uses Wolfgang Steinicke’s corrected NGC/IC catalogue, which contains 13,993 entries and is regarded as a more complete and reliable database that includes all the objects listed in Dreyer’s original catalogue and its two supplements, plus many new objects (named with extension letters) and companions. I’m a very active visual observer, interested in every sort of object I can see in the sky: Sun, Moon, planets, asteroids, comets, double stars, variable stars, and deep sky objects. Starry Night Pro 6.0.0.0: Starry Night Pro is a powerful program made for those with a serious interest in astronomy.

I have been a user of Starry Night® on a daily basis for the last 7 years, both to plan my own observations and to help others. When I started to work for Starry Night® last year, I discovered all kinds of things in the program which I’d never seen or used, despite heavy use. Like any powerful piece of software, Starry Night® is many-faceted and serves different functions for different users. For now, I’m going to concentrate on the new features which I’m particularly excited about, the ones that impact my own observing. The first thing I noticed when I first started up 6.0 was the Daily Event Reminder, literally in my face. This alerts you to events happening today. In the evening I had some friends over to observe, and I knew that Ganymede’s shadow was in transit across the face of Jupiter because Starry Night® had told me so that morning.Īside from this up-front reminder, the Event Finder provides a powerful tool for predicting current and upcoming events. Rather than a pre-cooked Sk圜alendar, you get to choose what events you want to display. At present, these include lunar phases, Jovian moon events, lunar and solar eclipses, meteor showers, and planetary events. My Secret Source tells me that more types of event will be added in the future.įor a QuickTime video demonstrating this new feature, please click here.
