Have you seen the the plugin for the navigational stars? RE: Stellarium- finding stars - Fred_B - 03-13-2017 In my opinion it's much better than charts. Great program for learning the positions and names of celestial bodies and their relationship to each other. There is a lot of light pollution and many trees around my house, so even when I can see a star I don't always know what it is. RE: Stellarium- finding stars - BigBill - 03-12-2017 Stellarium does cost when purchased for Android. In Linux it's free but don't know if there's a cost for other OS. Stellarium has been a real help in figuring out stars that aren't too familiar. RE: Stellarium- finding stars - P.Rutherford - 12-23-2015 RE: Stellarium- finding stars - c_davidson - 12-16-2015 So, Stellarium can be used to help identify a celestial body.Ģ102-D is good too and so is the USNO's Navigation star chart Similar to the problem of, 'I just shot a certain star but am not sure what its name is'.

The program, Stellarium, I've found to be helpful in figuring out the doubtful position of navigational stars. Stellarium- finding stars - CarlosPindle - 12-16-2015 +- Thread: Stellarium- finding stars ( /showthread.php?tid=19) Stellarium- finding stars - Printable Version
