About Deepsky integration with Cartes Du Ciel

Cartes Du Ciel is an excellent companion to Deepsky, and it's FREE!. Currently version 3.4.1 and newer integrates with Deepsky Astronomy Software. This program enables you to draw sky charts, making use of the data in 16 catalogs of stars and nebulae. In addition the position of planets, asteroids and comets are shown.

The purpose of this program is to prepare different sky maps for a particular observation. A large number of parameters help you to choose specifically or automatically which catalogs to use, the colour and the dimension of stars and nebulae, the representation of planets, the display of labels and coordinate grids, the superposition of pictures, the condition of visibility and more. All these features make this celestial atlas more complete than a conventional planetarium.

Deepsky integrates with Cartes Du Ciel in the following ways:

	Send objects from the Deepsky spreadsheet into Cartes du Ciel for display on its star charts.
	View real sky CD images in Cartes du Ciel by selecting the object to view from the Deepsky spreadsheet.
	Send objects from the Deepsky spreadsheet (GCVS catalog) into VarObs to display detailed information on variable stars and to plot light curves.

You can download a copy of Cartes du Ciel and Varobs from the website link above. Both software are also included on the Deepsky CD ROM.
