SkytechX is free astronomical planetarium for rendering real objects (stars, planets, comets etc.) on the map. Program works with range of years 1 AD and 3000 AD. Main catalogue is Tycho2 with more than 2.5 millions of bright stars. Customized internal catalogue of non-stellar objects has been composed of several sources like NGC, IC, PGC, Messier etc. and contains more than 100,000 of objects. The planetarium allows you to connect your telescope via ASCOM6 platform. You can search for solar or moon eclipses, planet conjunctions and other events in given time range. Supports work with overlayed DSS-FITS images directly on the map.

This program is centered on a graphical Hertzsprung-Russell or color-magnitude diagram (CMD). It can show animated evolutionary tracks of stars of different masses, for a single star or a population of stars. In addition, it can show the CMD of a large number of existing open clusters, based on scientific survey data, and overlay isochrones (the curve in a CMD from stars born at the same time) to determine the age, distance and interstellar reddening of the cluster. Determining these...

Educational astrometry utility for plotting stars on a Hertzsprung-Russel diagram. Useful for learning about stellar spectra and properties and performing spectroscopic parallax calculations, as found in many high school physics courses.
