This software provides a live and interactive desktop view of celestial objects such as planets, stars, and galaxies in real-time. It offers a unique experience of exploring the beauty and wonder of the universe from the comfort of your device.
If you're looking to bring the wonders of the night sky to your Windows 95/98 desktop, look no further than DeskNite. This innovative System Tray app will turn your computer into a window on the stars, with an infinitely configurable display of over 3000 stars, 9 planets, the Sun, Moon, Messier and NGC objects, and more.
With a variety of display styles to choose from - including point source and photoplate - as well as projection models and viewpoints, you'll be able to customize your desktop astronomy experience in a way that suits you. The program also includes helpful features like constellations, horizon and equatorial grids, and informative real-time readouts.
But DeskNite is more than just a fun desktop toy - it's a pocket planetarium in its own right. As light pollution levels increase, fewer and fewer people have the opportunity to experience the grandeur of a dark night sky. But DeskNite helps to redress this injustice by bringing the beauty of the night sky to you.
While it may not offer the same advanced features as other programs like Stella 2000 or Adastra, DeskNite is far more fundamental in its mission. Its kernel can be used similarly to other system tray planispheres, but its primary goal is to permanently transform your Windows desktop into the real-time night sky. So why settle for a boring desktop background when you can have the wonders of the universe at your fingertips with DeskNite?
