The nice thing about this is that C2A is granted with the "100% CLEAN" Softpedia award guaranteeing that C2A is completely clean of adware/spyware components. C2A has been added to the Softpedia database of software programs.
Following the request from some C2A users, it is now possible to make a donation should you want to support and encourage the author of the software.Ĭ2A in Softpedia.
#BEST ASTRONOMY SOFTWARE FOR TELESCOPE CONTROL PATCH#
You can easily apply the patch using either a Python script or a small C program which are provided by the USNO.ĭonations are possible.
A fix can be obtained from the USNO web site. A problem has been reported by the USNO regarding the validity of proper motion of around 3000 objects in the UCAC4 catalogue.

C2A is now referenced as one of the best free planetarium programs on. It also corrects the URL to access automatically the orbital elements on the Minor Planet Center web site. This version includes a preliminary integration of the Gaia catalogue (GRAPPA2) and fixes several minor bugs. Version 2.1.5 of C2A is now available for download. This version includes the concept of "default configuration" that allows the user to quickly roll back to a pre-defined configuration. Version 2.1.6 of C2A is now available for download. It also allows the user to load comet and asteroid orbital elements in the JPL format. This version fixes several minor bugs and brings some improvements.
Version 2.1.8 of C2A is now available for download. It was not possible in particular to import comet orbital elements where perihelion distance was greater than or equal to 10 AU. Version 2.1.9 of C2A is now available for download.

In order to download C2A, just go to the Distributions section of the Downloads page. It is possible to make a donation should you want to support and encourage the author of the software (but keep in mind that C2A is developed during the author's free time who therefore cannot commit to address all the function requests or bugs which are submitted to him). The author cannot be made responsible for any damage caused by the usage of this software. It can be used freely out of all commercial activity. All these functions are described in the Information page of this Web site.Ĭ2A is a freeware. Finally, C2A integrates numerous functions such as planetary position computing, asteroid and comet path display, ephemeris production, telescope control. The user can also create its own catalogues of objects, either under the form of text files or compiled catalogues. Finally, users have the possibility to associate their own images to various types of objects. C2A is also able to display field images transferred from the ESO DSS and STScI DSS ( Digitized Sky Survey) servers over the Internet. Regarding deep sky objects, C2A is provided with 3 catalogues: the Revised New General Catalogue and Index Catalogue (credit Wolfgang Steinicke - see the site Revised New General Catalogue and Index Catalogue), the Catalogue of Principal Galaxies ( PGC 2003), the catalogue of the Saguaro Astronomy Club (SAC) version 8.1 (credit SAC - see Saguaro Astronomy Club) as well as a catalogue of deep sky objects based on the RNGC and NGC2000 catalogues. Finally, C2A integrates an asterism catalogue and it can display artificial satellite positions using orbital elements in the TLE format. C2A is able to access directly over the Internet the catalogues ArasBeAM (for spectral observation of Be stars - see the site ), Exoplanet Transit Database (to plan exoplanet transit observations - see the site ) and IAU Meteor Showers (which provides all the known and suspected meteor showers - see the site Meteor Data Center). For photometry purpose, C2A natively integrates the Loneos catalogue ( UBVRI photometry of faint field stars, which is part of the standard distribution package). C2A is also an easy to use general purpose Planetarium software with many functions.Ĭ2A is able to display the following catalogues: SAO, GCVS, WDS, Gliese and Hipparcos (all four provided with the standard program distribution), Guide Star, Tycho-2 (both can be downloaded from this site in the Downloads page), USNO-SA1.0, USNO-A2.0, USNO-B1.0, UCAC1, UCAC2, UCAC3, UCAC4, NOMAD, PPMXL, CMC15 and URAT1 (which are not provided with the distribution because of their size).

An important objective of this software is to take into account the main catalogues available to professional and amateur astronomers in order to prepare observations on small fields as well as astrometry and photometry works.
#BEST ASTRONOMY SOFTWARE FOR TELESCOPE CONTROL WINDOWS#
It is only available for the Microsoft Windows Operating System (all versions). C2A ( Computer Aided Astronomy) is a Planetarium software that allows you to build detailed views of stellar fields.
