Planisphere is an astronomy application that lets you use pinch and zoom gestures to manipulate a map of the sky. Also using the mouse scroll wheel will zoom in and out as will using the up and down cursor keys. As you zoom in finer detail comes into view. You can double tap on objects to get more information. This is a Macintosh version of Planisphere which is available for iPhone and iPad.
Planisphere shows all 88 constellations and their boundaries, 6096 naked eye stars, the Messier deep sky catalogue, bright NGC objects, the Sun, Moon, planets and the now dwarf planet Pluto. These can be searched and then displayed if above the horizon for the selected time. Rise and setting times are available for all named objects.
The date, time and location can be changed. With Location Services you can show the sky as it appears from your exact location or you can click on a world map or select a city. There is also a realtime mode that will update to the current time.
