Aberrator - [freeware - Win95/98] Generates star-testing images to show all the common telescope defects (astigmatism, coma, pinch, tube-currents etc). You can specify the charateristics of your scope (diameter, obstruction, spider). You can simulate the effect of your scope on planets (load your own images) and double stars. After simulation you can have a look at the Point-Spread-Function and the Modulation Transfer function.
 
AstroPy - [open source - multiplatform] Development and integration of tools and numerical algorithms into the Python scripting language.
 
Dark Skies - [freeware - Windows] Allows you to determine which nights of the year (or month) will be totally dark (i.e. moon is not in the sky). This application will be of primary use to amateur astronomers.
 
Deep-Sky Planner - [commercial - Win95/98/NT] An easy-to-use astronomical observing, imaging, and photography planning tool.
 
Deepsky 99 - Software for Observers - [shareware - Win95/98/NT] Deepsky 99 solves an important need for amateur and professional observers. The software allows the user to plan a productive observing session and record what was observed quickly and easily.
 
Eyepiece - [freeware - DOS] Helps determine the appropriate eyepiece for specific sky objects (double stars, nebulae, and galaxies), assists in selecting nebular filters, and performs prime-focus astrophotography calculations. Many images are included. Mouse, VGA graphics, 386 & above CPU req'd.
 
GeoAstro Applet Collection - [online Java applets] Interactive Java applets (JARS Top Rated!) display the position of the sun and the moon on the horizon for any date, time and location, and on a world map with day and night regions. The times of rise and setting, the declination, the Greenwich hour angle and the equation of time are computed
 
JPL Planetary and Lunar Ephemerides - [commercial - multiplatform] This CD contains three Jet Propulsion Laboratory Planetary and Lunar Ephemerides along with a toolbox of FORTRAN subroutines that allow the user to obtain the coordinates of the Sun, Moon, and nine major planets.
 
LX200 remote control software - [Commercial, free demo, Win95/98] Get most features from your LX200 telescope keypad hand controller directly on your PC.
 
LunarPhase - [commercial, demo available - Win95/98/NT] A comprehensive tool for displaying a variety of information on the Moon and aspects of its behaviour.
 
Moon Tool - [Windows] A desktop application that displays the times of the various phases of the moon and a picture of the current phase of the moon.
 
Multiyear Interactive Computer Almanac - [commercial - DOS, Macintosh] A software system that provides high-precision astronomical data in tabular form for a wide variety of objects; it calculates much of the information tabulated in the benchmark annual publication, The Astronomical Almanac, but it goes beyond traditional almanacs by enabling you to calculate data for specified locations at specified times within a fifteen year interval (1990-2005).
 
NGCView - [commercial, demo available - Win95/98/NT] Astronomical Observation Suite - Astronomical observation and logging software.
 
PyEphem - [open source - multiplatform] A module for performing astronomical computations using the Python scripting language.
 
STD Aurora Monitor Software - [commercial - Win95/98/NT/2000] Advanced auroral activity monitoring software.
 
SkySight - [commercial, Win/Mac] CCD camera control and image processing, includes SkyChart III.
 
Starchart - Star mapping software - [opensource - POSIX] There is a sky. There are things in the sky. This program draws maps of things in the sky.
