When it comes to the retail price, if the buyer decides to acquire it on its own, the range goes between 79 and 99, depending on whether they’re going to purchase the basic or the special edition. You see what you would see with the naked eye.
Still, you can't beat free, and overall this is one of my favorite astronomy programs. It’s important to know that this software is only free when it comes to installed in the Celestron telescope. Stellarium is a free, open-source planetarium for your computer that shows a realistic sky in stunning 3D.
Without a suitable mouse interface for this feature, it breaks workflow for many people (although hotkeys are faster in the long run). Once you have set your co-ordinates Stellarium will show you where the Planets, Galaxys and Nebula are in. The lack of a mouse interface to send slew commands to the telescope means you have to use the keyboard's hotkeys (CTRL-1 slews Telescope #1 to the currently selected point). It doesn't support ASCOM for total observatory integration, but it does support a number of telescopes, including CelestronSky-Watcher and Meade. This software displays the sky and location of the heavens for the past. The computerized telescope support is lacking. Stellarium is software developed for users who are interested in astronomy. I use the angle tool, computerized telescope support, and ocular extensively. Stellarium can be extended with plugins, and comes with several out of the starting gate. What it does do, it does relatively well. There are a lot of times when you don't want to wait for Starry Night Pro and all it's features to load just to discover where a particular planet is located. It's rather short of features, compared with commercial programs like Starry Night Pro. Stellarium is short and sweet, to the point, just the way I like an application.
