An interactive planetarium. By entering a city, or the latitude and longitude, maps can be produced for "any time and date, viewpoint, and observing location." Maps can also be customized including viewpoint, magnitude, and other display options. Skies may also be viewed from the horizon. An "ephemeris for the sun, moon, planets, and any tracked asteroid or comet" is included for each map. Orbital elements of asteroids or comets can also be plotted.
