Editor: This program enables you to draw sky charts, making use of the data in 16 catalogs of stars and nebulae.In addition the position of planets, asteroids and comets are shown.
The purpose of this program is to prepare different sky maps for a particular observation.A large number of parameters permit you to choose specifically or automatically which catalogs to use, the colour and dimension of stars and nebulae, the representation of planets, the display of labels and coordinate grids, the superimposition of pictures, the condition of visibility and more.
These features make this celestial Atlas more complete than a conventional Planetarium. Please look at the Catalog descriptions in the documentation for explanation about the catatogs used and how to obtain other catalogs for use with the program. For most of them you must use a binary version available from the web site. you can free download Cartes du Ciel 2.76 now.
