Software:Redshift (planetarium software)
Redshift is a family of educational planetarium and astronomy software packages which allow the user to observe the sky from a range of dates, print off data based on the observations, and (in some versions) control a telescope, created by Maris Multimedia. It runs on PC with Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and iOS.[citation needed]
Description
Redshift uses data from the Hubble Guide Star Catalog II.[citation needed]
Begun in the early 1990s, the current version is 8 (released in 2012), which includes 3D models of the galaxy, multimedia tours, and access to star catalogs.[citation needed]
Platforms include Windows (8/7/Vista/XP(SP2)), Mac, iPhone, and iPad. PC editions include Premium (with a library of 100 million objects and telescope control) and Compact (fewer objects in the library, no telescope interface).[citation needed]
All versions support links to "Redshift-live", an on-line site to share observation information and other astronomy pictures and data.[citation needed]
