Sol! II - computes Sun Rise, Sun Set, Day Length, start and end of Civil, Nautical, and Astronomical Twilight, and the length of day with twilight times added for any location on the planet. Sol! II has a Sun Information and Sun Compass display and can automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time (DST) in 50 different time zones. In addition, Sol! II also now includes a sun tracker that plots the position of the sun through its daily arc!
Moon Info! - A utility for computing Moon Phase, Percent Illumination, Rise, Set and other interesting information about our closest neighor in the Solar System!
Messier! - A program that computes the rise, set, altitude, azimuth, and other information about all of the Messier objects. It also includes a portable observation log to log your observations in the field and later export them to your desktop computer.
Planets! - A program that computes the rise, set, altitude, azimuth, and other information about all of our neighboring planets. It also includes a portable observation log to log your observations in the field and later export them to your desktop computer.
J-Moons! - A program that shows the current position of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter
Saturn! - A utility for computing the apparent position of the 8 largest moons in relation to Saturn and its rings and other interesting information about Saturn!
