Hi,

I am looking for astronomical software capable of producing all-sky charts. Does anyone know of any software that has these features:

+ produces 360-degree all-sky charts
+ produces molleweide or sinusoidal projection
+ has galactic co-ordinate system as well as equatorial and ecliptic

Can Star Atlas: Pro do this? I tried contacting Paul Mayo via the Skylab website but the email bounced, is he still working on Star Atlas: Pro ?

Thanks.

I have given up on Star atlas pro. I have used it for ages and love it but CD broke and cant load onto a different PC. Skylab web site is useless to try and place orders and like you, my emails bounce back.
There are various good free programs around like Cartes du Ciel.

Depending on how much you want to spend there are a few good programs around from the net or shops like Bintel.

Cheers
Andy

Voyager v4.51 from CarinaSoft in Canada does all of this - beautifully. My favourite planetarium by far.
