An intuitive tool that leaves the fun IN exploring our sky..
Extremely easy to use, added my own city and a friend's city by lat/long. Easy to switch back and forth. The real-time feature is especially cool. Over so many others, this program makes it freaking easy to begin acquiring some knowledge about the sky, simply because the interface is intuitive, not cumbersome, even to a novice. Several approaches to exploring the sky, loaded with info, and expandable, it invites everyone to look above their heads in the evenings while learning and reveling in the kaleidoscope of stars. A rare combination of qualities in software these days. Software that encourages people to look up, away from their screens and explore? puh-leeze! LOL! thank you, and peace. More

StarCalc Review after 4 years of using it.
I use it to plan my observing sessions. There are limitations to how faint a star mine displays but I haven't downloaded the larger star catalogues. Pros:
Features: Set date and time.
Shows Moons planets ring presentation.
Transits of Moons.
Phase of Moon
Constellations, stars, Messier
I have had no trouble with OS Win98, XP and Vista. Cons:
Must install StarCalc folder on C: drive or it may lock up.
Be sure to copy the catalogues in same folder.
