This program enables the user to view the stars from any point on the Earth's surface, on any date and at any time. A total of 455 stars in 50 constellations can be seen and the telescope can be moved up, down, left and right as well as zoomed in and out. The stars can be displayed by magnitude (using high resolution graphics) or by constellation (in which case each star is represented by a code letter representing its constellation). If a printer is available, there is a facility for outputting the star map onto paper.
