MACASTRONOMICA is an easy-to-use sky map generator. View the stars, Moon and planets from any point on Earth, at any time. See galaxies, nebulas, shooting stars, the Milky Way, planet orbits and much more!

The registered version allows you to set observation location as a major world city, or a set of coordinates. It can be set to current time or a specified date and time. Time and location are chosen at random in the unregistered version.

Stars can be viewed with or without constellation names. Save observations to disk, export them as pictures, and use them in other applications. A full French version is included - select it in Preferences.

Turn on your Mac and look at the stars from anywhere on Earth!
