#Stellarium pocket pc portable

I have a very nice viewing spot with concrete pads, a folding camp style table I can set the laptop and such one, and everything, and Stellarium on the computer meets my needs for now. Stellarium Portable is a pocket-sized free planetarium that will please all astronomy fans out there.

Computer Systems Supported: Pocket PCs running Windows CE 3.0 or Pocket PC OS 2002 or higher. When I said $40, and I'd pass, I didn't know about those features, and all of that is well and good, there is a lot there to utilize. Check out the NexStar Observer List section. Plus, they don't have a Windows version of the program. Now I've got to buy the program for my tablet, which may or may not work, my tablet is old, so I may have to buy a new tablet, and I have to buy the WiFi adapter as well, since that appears to be the only way to wirelessly control my mount. You had to do that to me, didn't you, Jon? If you have the Sky Safari basic or the Plus, can I attach it to my Dob and use it as a push to tool? That would be very handy to add to my finder scope to find an object. With the touch screen I don't have to use a physical keyboard. Tablets are handy, a 7 inch fits in my pocket, the batteries last all night and then some. $40 for a program, that's the price of a decent Plossl. People spend hundreds of dollars on an eyepiece. Programs that offer the power of Sky Safari are few and much more expensive. I used to haul a laptop around with me, no more. Visually, I can star hop, with GOTO, you can just select the object and go. Every double (or Galaxy or whatever that was selected) will be circled. In fact the PC version I have is years old, but does a good job. End up never using Stellarium on the mobile. I have Stellarium on PC and on mobile, also Skysafari. If you want a mobile planetarium then Skysafari is the one out in front of the others. I can then sort the objects as I wish and I can choose to display the objects on the chart. The mobile one is not as good in general. If I decide I want a list of every double star in the constellations Bootes and Virgo whose magnitude is brighter than 8 and whose separation is between 0.8 arc-seconds and 10 arc-seconds, it takes about 30 seconds. Sky Safari has an advanced search function, you can build sophisticated observing lists right there in the field. If you ever observe double stars, Sky Safari computes the orbits of short period binaries. For many objects there are written descriptions that include images and observing tips. The databases are huge and provide much more information about each object than Stellarium. Sky Safari Basic, Plus and ProĪs a planetarium, it is much more capable than the 'full' Stellarium. The Plus version which is $15 also has that capability.

I'm sure it's a great program, but since I take my laptop with me, I have the full Stellarium in the field, and that works for what I want, plus it controls the mount.
