Local Sidereal Time - LST is a star map software for amateur astronomers and sky watchers. It is a pocket map to the sky above. It primarily has a local sidereal time calculator which allows the users to easily use printed sky maps. It also has real time sky views in 2D and 3D planetarium modes. The software displays 904 stars with magnitudes lower than 4.5, 85 constellations and the planets. The constellations and the planets can be tracked in Azimuth and Altitude values in text mode or in a 2D or 3D map of the sky. The software does not require any GPRS internet connection to work.
1. Time and Date should be set correctly on your mobile phone.
2. Time zone should be set correctly on your mobile phone.
3. Latitude and Longitude of the place of observation (city) should be set correctly in the software. Please refer to the internet to get the latitude and longitude of your city.

There are two options to track objects - Text mode and Graphical mode. The text mode can be selected by selecting the "text mode" option. In this mode, the user can select the celestial item to be tracked. This option lists the LST, J2000.0 date and the position in azimuth and altitude values. The graphical mode can be selected by choosing the "star charts" option. There are 3 graphical modes - Ortho, Fisheye and First person. Ortho and Fisheye are dome top views and first person is sort of a 3D planetarium view. In the graphical modes, the following keys are used to control the display-
Setting up the software
Select the setup option. Enter your latitude and longitude details. Apart from the latitude and longitude details, there is an options to switch on and switch off certain graphics features. Few phones work very sluggishly when all the features are switched on. The graphics options are-
Planets - Switch on and off planet display and tracking. Can be left on all phones
Stars - Switch on and off stars display.
Cons Lines - Switch on and off constellation lines. This does take some processing power. Try switching off on slow phones for better response.
Cons Names - Switch on and off constellation name display.
After setting up, press the save option. Without the saving, the changes wont get reflected. Saving automatically exits the software.

Moon Phase v1 1 will show the shape (or phase) of the moon at a given date and time of day. It will also show the percentage of illumination. The application accepts dates from 1600 CE up to 2400 CE with good level of accuracy - a difference of only 7 to 10 minutes from NASA's catalog 400 years before and after 2000 CE. It is very accurate near 2000 CE where the computation is based
