Hallo northern sky is a Windows application that comprises the SAO, PPM, and Tycho-2 star databases, a wide variety of up-to-date deepsky objects, and Realsky images in order to help you simulate the night sky.

Plus, the utility provides access to the external GSC and USNO CDROM star catalogs, and includes the possibility to control computerised GoTo telescope mounts using the universal ASCOM package, a Realsky viewer DDE controlled from the primary panel, as well as BMP/JPEG to FITS conversion capabilities.

User interface

The layout may seem a bit overwhelming at a first glance but this is only because the utility comes packed with a multitude of dedicated parameters. You need to take some time and experiment with the built-in features in case you want to make the most out of this program. Additionally, you may rely on the tooltips for viewing a short description of each parameter.

You can switch to a full screen mode for a better focus on your work, use the zoom in or out controls for analyzing objects in detail, as well as reset the layout with just one click.
