Application Description

Pocket Stars PC is a high accuracy star chart, ephemeris, and Celestial Navigation calculator for notebook, tablet, and desktop PCs running Microsoft Windows XP, 98SE, ME, 2000, 2003 Server, and above.

Star Chart Features:
User interface optimized for simple and fast star, planet, Messier, and Caldwell object identification. Single click on any body to get the name, designation, calculated altitude, azimuth, and magnitude. Drag the cursor to scroll the chart. Zoom in and out with a single click.

Display of orbital paths for inner solar system bodies showing daily positions for one year centered on current date.

Animation of the sky in increments of hours, days, weeks, or months.

Manual or automatic control of star magnitudes. Simple control over which objects to display.

Black, white, and red star chart colors for normal, bright, and night viewing conditions, respectively.

Chart can be rotated to any of the 16 compass points and also flipped along the North - South axis. This allows the either overhead (East and West reversed) or non-overhead (East and West normal) viewing.

Celestial Navigation Features:
Reduction from sextant altitude to observed altitude for any of the 9110 stars, nine planets, and sun and moon. Watch this movie to see how it's done.

Corrections for observer height (DIP), refraction (temperature and atmospheric pressure), and vessel movement.

Position from intercept and azimuth by calculation for multiple sextant observations following procedures in 'The Nautical Almanac' by the United States Naval Observatory.

Any number of sextant observations can be individually enabled to compute a best fit when computing a FIX. Results may be plotted, showing the assumed position (AP), FIX, and observations with intercepts and amplitudes. 95% confidence ellipse shows the boundaries of the Most Probable Position.
