Star data bases
Planetarium has a built-in star data base with about 9000 stars (the Yale Bright Star Catalogue). You can install one of these data bases with additional stars. There are several variants of star data bases differing in the limiting magnitude. Which one you want to install depends on your amount of free memory. The data bases were compiled with data from the Hipparcos and Tycho-2 catalogues. The CAB files can be installed as described above.

Registration
The program that you can download here will run as fully functional demo version and will give you plenty of time to try it out and check if you like it. After a while it will begin to show a remainder screen at program start. If you decide to register, you will receive a registration code which you enter into the program. This will convert the program into the registered version and disable all remainder screens.
