Bizibilder Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Yes - Stellarium and maybe Cartes du Ceil as well. If you want a printable atlas:Taki's Home PageIs a good beginners one. Also Google "Star Atlas" - there are loads more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajg Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 It's not planetarium software, but Celestia is a "Space Simulator" - I haven't found it as useful as Stellarium, but it's very interesting to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
