Star Pilot Advanced is the premier bundle of MEW3's and our products designed for every type of astronomer. It includes the following:
Star Pilot - The most full featured program on the market for the Palm Computing Platform. Star Pilot has a database of almost 1500 stars and 88 constellations as well as the ability to plot the position of planets, the sun, and the moon in the sky.
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<
Sol System - An orrery program that lets you view the solar system from various angles
Solstice! - A program that computes solstices and equinoxes for the years 1904 to 2031

Astro Compass (Palm OS) Astro Compass (Palm OS) - The program allows to use the Palm like a real Compass.
Put yourself in front to any celestial object of solar system (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) or 28 bright stars (Sirius, Vega and so on): the program calculates its position on heavenly vault and then it will display a Compass
Moon Phase (French) Moon Phase (French) - French 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.
What's New in This Release:
· Fixed failing to use default colors when not in inverted mode.
· Added French translation
Solar and Lunar Eclipses Solar and Lunar Eclipses - Solar Eclipses
Total-annular solar eclipses processed by the program are comprised between 1900 and 2100 (exactly 287 eclipses from May 28th, 1900 to September 4th, 2100).
The program gives the times of the phases (initial, central and final) and the geographical coordinates where it is possible to observe those circumstances of the eclipse
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
NGC! NGC! is a complete NGC/IC observing program. It can display information about over 13,000 NGC/IC objects as well as keep an observer log that may be exported to your desktop computer
2005 Meteor Shower Database 2005 Meteor Shower Database - This is a database of 2005 meteor showers, including: name of the shower, date range, date at which the shower peaks, the maximum rate per hour, the entry velocity, and the radiant.
For observation, the higher ZHR (Zenithal Hourly Rate), the better (more meteors)
Planets Planets is an educational document with which you can start to learn about the physical characteristics of the different planets in our solar system.
The program includes 3D models with realistic textures based on the surfaces of the planets, and a wide variety of information such as: distance from the sun, diameter, mass, atmospheric composition, surface matter and more
