Astronomy software

Anyone know what the equivalent of something like Starry Night Backyard might be for Linpus...?

Thanks.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_planetarium_software may help. I've used and like kplanets, but can't comment on any of the others - but then I don't know what Starry Night Backyard does exactly either!

 

OK, I'll check out kplanets and dig on the wiki page.

Thanks for that.

(Starry Night Backyard is the best one for Windows closely followed by Redshift...)

 

I've used Stellarium on WinXP and now on Linpus. Simple but very effective. Almost a DOS feel about the controls.

Hi

try insta.lling the KDEEDU package in add/remove software. Go to applications / education and tick kdeedu. this will install an application called kstars which is pretty good,
