Perseus LT Konus. For those who want to know where to follow the stars and planets

A picture to attract attention.

After reading the comment under this post, I remembered the past ...
When I bought my first telescope, it was accompanied by a small disk with a wonderful program, the work of which was described by uv. entomolog
This program allows you to view the entire starry sky, with the setting of your exact location and time. You can see where this or that comet, planet or constellation is located.
Interesting?
Then welcome to cat.
Caution - PICTURES

To begin with, I will say that the program was 2006, and was sharpened more under XP, but it started immediately on win8.1, without any dancing with a tambourine. Nevertheless, many years ago, near Vista, she loved to fly out.

They meet us with a dark night sky, somewhere above the USA.
At the top there is an intuitive control panel where you can customize the display of certain objects.
First of all, we set up the location: The


graphic map is opened by clicking “Show map”. This is necessary for more precise settings (for example, if you are at the cottage). Time can be selected for speed and convenience system.



Having set the time and location, we get a similar picture:


If you turn on “landscape” at the top of the “Location” menu, then we will have virtual trees, purely to give the atmosphere, because usually it’s better to watch the stars in such places.


During the day it looks like this.


There is also a “night mode”. It is
activated by the icon with a red monitor and it looks like this:

This is necessary if, for example, you took your laptop or tablet (except perhaps Surface) with you to nature, and you do not want your pupils to wean from the darkness and the stars become poorly visible after each look at the monitor. Because our eyes almost do not react to red light, then nothing prevents you from looking where, what is located, and again pointing your laser telescope.

Looking around (only arrows on the keyboard, because when you try to twist your head with the mouse, holding down various keys, the program freezes) We see stars if the planets are lucky ... but what to do next?

You can click Play at the top (black triangle) and enable acceleration, thanks to which the simulation of the movement of stars, planets, etc. will start.

And now the first result (stars and other celestial bodies are turned off - for the convenience of finding planets)


Uranus!
Having circled it with the mouse, we will go to the selected area, i.e. approximate.




By clicking on a planet (there are also asteroids \ comets \ satellites of planets \ stars) we get information, not only a description of the planet, but also the distance to it and other interesting information.


But this is Jupiter, which almost all year round hangs over the horizon in the vicinity of Peter



Calisto:


And dear Europe:


Unfortunately, there are no pictures of the surface of the planets here, but the program is not intended for this.
For the convenience of finding everything that you saw on the monitor live - I recommend turning on the grid, or the axis, where the south \ north \ west \ east is shown.

I’m thinking of finishing this, here is the link to the image recorded from the disk (oh, the copyright holders will forgive me), because I could not find this program in the almighty Google (although I did not really look for it).
UPD Found a link to Rutrekere
PS
I decided to publish a review, because The program is clearly in demand, and deserves a separate post, not two comments.

See you soon!
