Here I am today, returning from my holidays ready to write software for handheld and PDA which I found very helpful, having had the opportunity to squeeze it properly at this time.
The software in question is the portable version of the most famous and celebrated "The Sky" for PC.
Of Programs I have tried several, such as "Planetarium" reviewed here in my blog some time ago, but what I found most comfortable and this is complete, especially because it shows the stars in exactly the same way they are shown in the PC software, thereby making easier the work of star hopping, compared to other programs that have a view that perhaps the most confusing (not just that we need while we are freezing at night).
But we come to true to its description of the program just started, just enter the town from which we observe the data (including height) and we are ready to use it.
few intuitive buttons are shown there, one that activates the "search" where you can search for a particular item by its common name or number in a catalog, although two buttons increase and decrease magnification, and two more buttons there allow you to choose which direction to look at (North, South, West, East and Zenit).
Using the menu Instead we can use already pre-set magnifications (Naked-eye, binocular Finder Telescope) with a lot of circles that appear by clicking the "finder" as a field of view.
To center an object and also to read the features, just click on it, at this point will open a window with all data of the object, and we can hit it in the display with a single click on the appropriate button.
We also have the ability to view in large each planet in order to study the position of the satellites or watch the full calendar of moon phases. Cito
last, also having the ability to export the PC version, lists custom objects to observe, or other documents created on your handheld to the pc directly and the possibility (which I do not care) to control the motorized telescope mount (Nexstar and the like), complete with a built-in software alignment procedure.
So the strengths of the program are many, but what convinced me to use it is just the graphic that shows exactly where the stars and the way they do software for the PC as the famous stellarium.
judge him if he had not understood, a great program!
