Stargazers Delight is a comprehensive desktop planetarium software designed for astronomy enthusiasts. It offers a range of features to aid your stargazing experience, from viewing constellations, planets, and stars to tracking celestial events.
The software delivers a powerful set of features that make it incredibly easy for users to view the night sky from any location on Earth at any given time. Users can zoom in and out, toggle the display of stars, constellations, deep sky objects, planets, and constellation boundaries. The software also allows for animation of the sky, which enables viewers to see the stars wander across the sky, watch the twilight, and see the sun rising.
Among its impressive functions is its ability to display all stars up to magnitude 10, along with the names of the stars, their apparent magnitude, or distance in light-years. Additionally, clicking on any object generates information about that feature. Users can track planets as they move throughout days and years between the stars, watching them make loops at times.
While the demo version is fully functional, it displays the sky only for a few selected locations, and shows only the brightest stars. However, if users opt to register the software, they'll receive a key to unlock the program and enjoy it in its full glory, complete with over 260,000 stars. Overall, Stargazer's Delight is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a robust, user-friendly planetarium software.
