Enjoy accessible astronomy with a software that offers real-time sky, accurate reports, exciting events such as animations, and live tracking. Achieve arcsecond precision while exploring the universe.
If you're looking for a comprehensive and user-friendly astronomy tool, Adastra is a great choice. With real-time sky, comprehensive reports, and arcsecond accuracy, it offers an accessible experience for anyone interested in astronomy. You can explore the sky in real time using the powerful search function that covers planets, comets, asteroids, DSOs, and a multitude of stars.
One of the standout features of Adastra is its natural Drag Mode, which provides a new navigational ease to the sky display for smooth, head-turning views of the stars. You can also take a tour of our Solar System, thanks to Adastra's interactive Solar Guide, which links to the Sky and Picture windows.
In addition, Adastra's Astrogloss A-Z is a dictionary of over 1000 astronomical terms, which is integrated tightly with Adastra's Search and display. When you click on an object in the sky, Adastra will bring up that object's definition in the Dictionary. This is a precision tool for the archaeo-astronomer, because Coeli's TimeLine (alias "Stella BC") can graphically demonstrate the dramatic effects of precession down through the millennia, seeking out that remote First Time, when Vega and Deneb were Pole Stars.
Adastra is packed with exciting features such as animation and live tracking. The tool offers five celestial projections in which to observe the night sky on your PC, in either resizeable windows or full-screen mode. You can advance, retard, or animate the simulation's clock by years, months, days, and minutes of sidereal or solar time, tracking any selected object through the sky in both real-time or fast-forward. Overall, Adastra is a fantastic software for anyone looking to dive into the fascinating world of astronomy.
