Paul Cella had a post here about stargazing.

For stargazing I highly recommend the shareware program Skyglobe. It is truly shareware. If you try to send a check to the address, it comes back to you in the mail. I got my copy before there was a Web, so I didn't download it off the Web. I hope the download from here works. You can Google other sites that let you download it as well. I hear it doesn't work with Windows Vista, which is just another reason not to get Vista. We've had to create a generic icon for it on our desktop, which makes it easier to get to (without having to go to the DOS prompt).

In fact I removed SkyGlobe from my disk to save space but if you want a DOS program SkyGlobe is good. The registered dos version (3.6) works in both windows and win95. I have used both SkyGlobe and SkyMap and some others, and the they all have strengths and weaknesses. SkyGlobe is by far the easiest to use, and the quickest. Click to open detail panel.

Skyglobe is an astronomy program for MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows first developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and originally sold as Shareware but now available as closed-source freeware. It plots the positions of stars, Messier objects, planets, sun and moon. The computer runs Windows 7. Skyglobe For Windows 10 Download Can you run installation of Windows 7 64-bit on Windows XP 32-bit? Skyglobe Download Free. No, not unless all of the following. Confirm that the computer's processor and motherboard are both 64bit. All 64bit Windows Operating systems will only work on computers that have both 64bit processor and 64bit.

It's hard to believe something so useful is absolutely free. Skyglobe works chiefly by keystrokes. It will come up showing the sky at the time on your computer. Hit L and choose a location near you for the most accurate picture of the sky. Hit C repeatedly to add more and more constellation lines (and eventually to make them go away). Arrow keys allow you to look around your sky. If you point your mouse at a star directly, you will see the name or number displayed in the corner of the screen.

Where I am, the bitterest cold of winter is over, and we are even occasionally having clear nights. It isn't yet light into the night, as it will be in the summer. So around about 8:30 we can sometimes see some neat things. Orion, westering a bit, still dominates the southern sky, hunting Taurus the bull. Canis Major, with Sirius brightly visible in it, lopes at his heels. Just above Canis Major, Procyon wags the tail of Canis Minor, who refuses to be left out of the hunt. And over to the east, Leo now rises, ramping straight up the sky.

I also recommend the books on the stars by H. A. Rey, best known as the creator of Curious George. The books are geared to kids, but grownups will find them useful too.

SkyGlobe - Astronomical Computing on a Budget

© 1993, 1998 by Bob DuHamel

This article originally appeared in Amateur Skywatch, Volume 1, Number 1

I plan to welcome product and book reviews as a regular part of (AmSky). To start things off here is a review of a nifty piece of software for amateur astronomy.

The Celestial Observer certainly had no articles on astronomical computing. Indeed we used plain old typewriters to put the words on paper. Today there is no shortage of offerings of computer programs for the amateur astronomer. I recently* tried my first astronomical computer program. I picked up this program for only $5.00 from a shareware distributor.

Although much shareware is copyrighted professional quality software it is perfectly legal to make copies and give them to friends. I bought my copy from a professional shareware distributor who charges a per-disk copying fee.

Shareware is not free; it is a try before you buy concept. To continue using a program after a trial period you must pay a registration fee to the software developer. For your fee you get professionally printed manuals, program updates and technical support just like you do from the big budget companies.

Shareware programs range from just plain trash to programs that outperform the well-known big budget packages. However, the price is almost always much less than 'commercial' software.

The program I just tried is called SkyGlobe. When SkyGlobe starts it displays a stereoscopic projection (like the Sky and Telescope monthly chart) of the sky as seen from Caladonia MI. You can quickly choose your own city or one close to it from a list of about 200. By pressing any number key SkyGlobe will save your current configuration (with your city) under that number. After this, starting the program with the command 'skyglobe 1' will load configuration one.

I was immediately impressed with the pleasing color displayed on a VGA monitor. The sky is black with two shades of blue† showing the Milky way. The horizon is a green line and the whole globe can be rotated to show the sky below the horizon.


The display time can be set to follow the current time of day or any time, day or year you wish. I was also impressed with the speed at which Skyglobe updates the screen. It is fast enough to be tolerable on an 8MHz XT.

The display is quite flexible. Some of the options are:

RA/DEC grid in two resolutions;

Varying numbers of constellation outlines:

Milky way on/off toggle;

Ecliptic and Horizon;

0, 7,000, 15,000, or 25,000 stars;

Sun, Moon and planets, with or without labels;

Messier numbers;

My only complaints about the program are minor. The constellation outlines look a bit unfamiliar. I would prefer to see the same outlines used in the original Sky and Telescope monthly charts or Astronomy's charts. Also I would like to see symbols used for the Messier objects as in the old S&T charts.‡ Skyglobe only puts the numbers on the screen. These numbers don't make it clear exactly where the object is and get a little bunched up in places.

All in all this is a pretty good program for the price. The registration fee is only $20.00. It is a great alternative to the Sky and Telescope or Astronomy monthly charts, especially since it shows the Moon and planets. It is also certainly more flexible since you can set the view for any time or place you wish.

SkyGlobe can be downloaded from:
