A comprehensive software suite for astronomy, providing all related tools and features necessary for viewing the stars and planets.
If you're looking for a comprehensive astronomy software, Stella 2000 is a solid option. One of its notable features is its ability to display atmospheric effects such as scintillation, refraction, and extinction, providing a more realistic experience. It also has three display styles to choose from: realistic, spotlight, and photoplate sky. The software even includes scintillation in its star display, accurately reflecting the true nature of each star.
In terms of its star catalogues, Stella 2000 has three new and expanded options to choose from. Starting with a permanent level-one database, the HR Bright Star Catalogue is available in both the trial and licensed versions of the software. In addition, the Ultra-modern ESA Hipparcos satellite sky survey provides a selection of 7000 stars. The software also supports data extensions for those who want to extend the scope of the planetarium from magnitude 7.0 to beyond magnitude 12, resolvable by a 4.5' reflector.
The Extended Edition of Stella 2000 takes it up a notch. It includes all 118000 stars of the Hipparcos catalog, making it the definitive package for star enthusiasts. With features such as ImageIcons, animation modes, multiple toolbars, and custom and online options, you'll have plenty of tools to explore the sky. The software even allows you to display JPEG imagery in response to mouse-clicks on a wide range of celestial objects, further enhancing the experience.
Overall, Stella 2000 is a must-have for anyone interested in astronomy. Its advanced features and comprehensive star catalogues provide a rich experience for both amateur and professional astronomers alike.
