Can you exactly say what you will see while observing deep sky objects, depending on sky conditions, telescope aperture, and magnification? Eye & Telescope can! This unique deep sky planning software uses thoroughly calculated algorithms based on recent research to simulate the eyepiece view. You simply put your observing conditions (limiting magnitude and extinction) as well as your telescope data (aperture, focal length, and field of view and focal length of eyepieces) in and violà - you´ve got the actual observing probability, expressed by a number as well in a simulated eyepiece view. But Eye & Telescope is much more than that. Select deep sky objects from a quality checked database of more than 130000 objects - not according to simple object data, but on how you can actually see them! Arrange selected objects in observing projects or compile them into an observing schedule for the next night. Create customized finder maps with more than 19 million stars. Control your goto telescope mount and operate your planetarium software. Keep your own observing log and be able to analyze your observations. This is the ultimate deep sky planner - a software with features not found in any other program. stars: Tycho catalog with 2,55 million stars to 15 mag
