Sky atlas
To prepare a program of upcoming observations and quickly walk through the objects, a
handy sky atlas is built into the program.
Objects in the atlas can be selected by a number of characteristics (constellation, size,
brightness, minimum height above the horizon ...), or simply by catalog name.
In the Sky Atlas, to the right of each object, a graph of its visibility is displayed, taking into
account the dark time of the day for planning the time of its observations. On the left in the
atlas window, information about the current visibility conditions (moon phases, start and end
times of astronomical twilight) is always visible.
From the atlas window, you can quickly aim at the selected object, add it as a target for the
series, or transfer its coordinates to the crop window.
