Application that gives a view as if standing on earth
Hi. Is there an application (free or otherwise) that lets you see the
hevenly bodies from the perspective of standing on the earth and looking out into space? Of course you would see the horizon and the obsever could change his azimuth direction. I'm wanting to have the programme show me the sun and planets as they appear to an obsever standing on the earth looking out - as you do. Thanks. |

Stellarium is a good program for this and its free but there are quite a few programs out there that will do what you are asking. Clear skies. -- David Briggs Skype ID: davidbriggs124 A. HTML. Q.

You could try Stellarium which gives you a nice and realistic view http://www.stellarium.org/ Yes, Stellarium. Just been using it. It's very good. Just the job actually. Fantasic to watch the constellations and stars move across the sky in speeded-up fashion. I've set it for Leeds. I see Capella never sets. I wondered if it did. |

I though vVega set, but doesn't according to the program. Just maintains above the horizon for Leeds. |

If you've got an phone "star walk" is really good. Uses the gps, compass and
accelerometer on the phone so you don't need to set anything. Just point it at the sky and it maps out what you're looking at! Mike "Richard" wrote in message ... Hi.
