About Stellarium:
Stellarium is free GPL software which renders realistic skies in real time with openGL. It is available for Linux/Unix, Windows, MacOSX and BeOS. With Stellarium, you really see what you can see with your eyes, binoculars or a small telescope

Features

Sky

* Over 120000 stars from the Hipparcos Catalogue with name and info for the brightest ones.
* Planets and major satellites in real time (with position computation accurate enough for eclipse or transit simulation).
* Asterisms of the 88 constellations with their names.
* Mythological figures of the 88 constellations.
* Images of more than 70 nebulas (Orion, M31 etc..).
* Photo-realistic Milky Way.
* Star twinkling.
* Shooting Stars.

Landscape & visualization

* Skinnable landscape (ground, fog, mapping of fisheye pictures).
* Ultra fast realistic atmosphere rendering (sunsets, sunrises etc...).
* Automatic eye adaptation to sky luminance using physiologic model.
* Grids in equatorial and azimuthal coordinates.
* Equator and ecliptic coordinates lines.

Navigation & rendering

* Smooth real time intuitive navigation.
* Powerful zoom to see planets and nebulae like through a telescope.
* Equatorial and altazimuthal mount mode.
* Standard perspective and wide angle (fisheye) projection modes (perfect for a planetarium dome).

* Graphical menu for simple use.
* Clickable stars, planets and nebulas, with information.

* Full dome (180°) projection mode for planetariums.
