libadb is an astronomical catalog management library desgined to provide fast access to astronomical object data.

Stellarium renders 3D photo-realistic skies in real time with OpenGL. It displays stars, constellations, planets, nebulae and others things like ground, landscape, atmosphere, etc.

...A visual animation of the galaxy and user selection of highlighted star-planet objects is provided, together with statistics (25+ graphs) and estimates of Drake equation factors. The V2_1 provides several new features: planets surface magnetic field, reworked life stage transitions, integration of MW exoplanets catalog, planets view and graphs window optionally on different threads... EtiC is based on OpenGL / GLFW 3.2, runs on MSWindows 7 and MacOsX. Source code in C++, was developped using the Dev-C++ IDE and XCode.

The JSky package contains java classes for displaying astronomical images, searching astronomical catalogs and plotting catalog symbols on images. The jskycat application is also included and makes use of most of the features.

Aciqra is a virtual planetarium and sky mapping program which tracks celestial bodies including planets, deep sky objects and stars to an accuracy of a fraction of a degree for thousands of years into both the future and the past. It includes the 2.5 million stars of the Tycho-2 catalog supplemented by data of 120,000 stars from the Hipparcos catalog, 13,000 deep space objects from the NGC and IC catalogs and a large number of asteroids and comets from the Minor Planet Center. The program is platform-independent and can be made to work on most modern computers that support OpenGL.

Generate star maps for anywhere at anytime. Choose from a database of thousands of deep sky objects, including all Messier, Caldwell, and NGC objects. Also allows recording of notes on viewed objects, and configuration of user-generated observation lists.

Virtual telescope written in Java for mobile phones. Uses CLDC1.1 and MIDP2.0. Tested on mobile phone with 2MB RAM and 60MB storage. The largest catalog uses TYCHO2(2.5M stars) and NGC+ IC(13k DSO) .Sky plotted in dark red. Has desktop version also.

Web based software for searching, viewing and naming stars for anyone who needs to display information about stars in the Smithsonian Astronomical Observatory Catalog. Includes a CSV backup of the db and modules for displaying star information.
