Stellarium Astronomy Software is available for Windows PCs at no cost. It is an open-source, cost-free computer planetarium. It displays a 3D version of the real sky, exactly as it appears through a telescope, binoculars, or the unaided eye. Projectors for planetariums use it. Simply set your GPS and move forward.
