. CELESTIA is a real-time visual simulation of space. Choose a point within
the Local Group of galaxies and Celestia will show you an approximation of how it would appear to your eyes were you actually
there. Celestia is unique in its ability to allow you to navigate at an immense range of scales. Orbit a couple kilometers
above the surface of a tiny, irregular asteroid, then head off toward Jupiter, watching it grow from a bright point of light
into a looming sphere filling your field of vision. Leave our solar system entirely and observe the sun as it fades from a
brilliant disk to a bright star, disappearing almost entirely as you head off toward the Upsilon Andromeda system to orbit
around its innermost giant planet. (11MB)

THE SIMPLE OBSERVING LOG The Simple Observing
Log (TSOL) is intended as a place where you can keep track of all your star-gazing information. After recording your observations,
you can view and print your observing records sorted by date or by object. There's space where you can sketch your observations
on the page, or place scans of your sketches after you're done. An "astrophoto" section for each observation lets
astrophotographers keep track of their exposures as well. When you want to use TSOL in the field, simply choose "Nightvision
Mode" to switch to a vision-saving red display. (2.2MB)
