SkyMap is an award-winning Planetarium program for PCs running Microsoft Windows.SkyMap can draw a map showing the sky as seen from anywhere on Earth for any date between 4000BC and 8000AD. Two different types of map can be drawn: Horizon Maps, and Area Maps. Once you have a map, you can zoom in and out, search for an object, display detailed information, display the path traced, and print a high quality chart. You can see stars, planets, comets, asteriods, deep sky objects, constellations, grid lines, and telescope and eyepiece data.
