AI (Astro Info)- This is the latest release of our FREE open source astronomical ephemeris.
AI (Astro Info) provides comprehensive data on objects in our solar system as well as catalogues of all types of interstellar objects.
This makes AI an invaluable tool for planning and observing with handy features such as showing objects currently above the horizon.
This release includes:
Improved colour graphics
Object details including rise/transit/set, phase, distance, magnitude and position in multiple coordinate systems
Graphically show phase of our moon and solar system planets using real images or drawings (see screen shot above)
Major overhaul of the user interface
Sky map with ability to zoom and change limiting magnitude
F-A-S-T and accurate maths using combination of virtual floating point library and Meeus calculations
Change viewing date and time from any form
Show time as julian date and sidereal time
Rise/set time for all planets in our solar system in one form
Only 78KB of memory without optional catalogues
Your choice of catalogues containing thousands of objects including:
Messier
Caldwell
Bennett
Yale
SAA 100 (best 100 non Messier objects from sci.astro.amateur newsgroup)

DSO DSO is a freeware astronomical program for Palm OS devices that should help to plan observations of deep sky objects.
The program allows to search for objects in the NGC/IC database by the object:

Astromist (Palm OS) Astromist (Palm OS) - Astronomy tool to easily locate and compute position of stars (up to 2.5 million),planets or sky objects (18200 included) of most well known catalogs
It provides powerfull sky chart to easily find objects, Hipparchos and Tycho stellar catalog, objects photos, moon phases calendar to plan your observation session, many sky objects (more than 18200)
pSatellite pSatellite is a satellite tracking application for the Palm OS environment. It provides visualization of satellite orbit position on a world map (Mercator projection) from any ground location you enter within pS
Phoon Phoon- graphically displays the phase of the moon (either near or far side), along with additional phase, time, and holiday information
Satellites of the Solar System Satellites of the Solar System - This is Smartlist To Go (formerly ThinkDB) database contain a listing of the satellites of the 9 major planets and those found around asteroids and minor planets.
This database is complete free and will remain so for all future updates
astro-metrics Desk Accessory astro-metrics Desk Accessory - The astro-metrics DA shows the Local and Universal date and time, the Greenwich and Local Mean Sidereal Time and the Julian Day and Modified Julian Day. As a Desk Accessory it can be called up in any other application currently running to give you the current times
Mondphase Mondphase - German translation of Moon Phase.
This application will graphically display the phase of the Moon for any day.
This version is corrected to work with any version of the PalmPilot, to my knowledge.
The older pilots won't have the full functionality, however
2003 Meteor Shower Database 2003 Meteor Shower Database - This is a database of 2003 meteor showers, including: name of the shower, date range, date at which the shower peaks, the maximum rate per hour, and the radiant. Thanks to the International Meteor Organization for the data, and for a very informative website
Moon Phase Moon Phase will graphically display the phase of the Moon for any day.
This version is corrected to work with any version of the PalmPilot, to my knowledge.
What's New in This Release:
