Starlit sky for hobby astronomers and star lovers
|
| With SkyServer you can arrange and request your personal view of the Starlit Sky as a Skyimage. There are 2.500.000 stars, 8.000 deep sky objects, the constellations, the planets, local horizon and registered comets available. With various functions and settings i.e. observer location, date, eyepiece etc. you can adjust the Skyimage to your individual needs. |
| With each request the Skyimage is calculated, drawn and returned in real time in the png display format. Skyimages can be bundled as animations in different ways. Just try it ! |

| SkyServer is a free service. It may be used free for personal non-commercial purpose. But it may not be sold in any way without permission of the programmer. This service is free, so I'm not accepting any liability. But it is my personal goal to keep SkyServer running and I will care for it in my free time. |

| SkyServer is designed and developed by Sabine Plunder. The calculation module is provided by Richard van Nieuwenhoven. |
