Display Explorer - The Display Explorer is a versatile tool that allows you to access and edit virtually every display option in TheSky6 via a tree list control.
Display Reference Lines - TheSky6 can display reference lines that show coordinates, help you visualize your orientation, or indicate what part of the sky you’re looking. They include:
Ecliptic, Galactic Equator, Milky Way (picture), Milky Way (solid), Constellation lines, Constellation boundaries, Constellation drawings, Equatorial grid lines (customizable spacing), Horizon-based grid lines, Telescope limit lines, including declination and altitude limit lines (Serious Astronomer and Professional Edition only), Local horizon customizable), Refracted horizon, Panoramic horizon (customizable).
Display Object Labels - Show labels for the following objects: Common name (stars), Common name (non-stellar objects), Constellation name, Messier number, Sun, planet, moons, Bayer designation, Flamsteed designation, Comets, Minor planets or asteroids (Serious Astronomer and Professional Edition only), Customizable "extended" labels (Serious Astronomer and Professional Edition only).
Adjust Appearance of Stars - Show stars with their spectral color, change the contrast, gradient fill, density, halos on bright stars, red color in Night Vision Mode and more!
Use Toolbars to Access Commands - TheSky6 contains versatile toolbars for accessing commonly used commands.
Show/Hide a Status Bar - Display a Status Bar with customizable content, including:
Equatorial and horizon-based coordinates of the center of the screen, Equatorial and horizon-based coordinates of the mouse pointer, Earth location, Local sidereal time, Field width, Date, Time.
Look North, South, East, West or Up - Quickly orient yourself with the local horizon using these commands.
Zoom box - Click and drag a zoom box to magnify the current field.
Zoom to Pre-defined fields - Adjust the display to suit your instrument. Telescope, Finder scope, Binocular, Naked Eye, Wide Field, Maximum.
Move To Any Coordinate - The handy Move To command lets you center the display on any equatorial or horizon-based coordinate, from any Epoch.
Time Control - Astronomers are always looking forward, or backward in time. TheSky6 makes this easy! You specify how time advances or retreats.
Specify any Earth-based Location - Quickly specify your viewing location by selecting it from a list of over 1,200 locations, click on a World Map, or manually enter your coordinates (that are, for example, obtained from a GPS).
Create Object Paths - TheSky6 lets you generate the path of any solar system object over time. Create the Sun's analemma, or demonstrate the retrograde motion of Mars.
Eclipse Finder - The Eclipse Finder allow you to search for and animate solar and lunar eclipses, and view their geometry. TheSky6 even displays a solar eclipse's path of totality on a map of the Earth.
Conjunction Finder - Locate conjunctions between any three planets, or the Moon.
Moons of Jupiter and Saturn - Shows the positions of Jupiter's Galilean major moons and Saturn's major moons at any given time, allowing you to set the moons into motion.
Moon Phase Calendar - Display or print a monthly calendar (for any month) with the phase for each day and text showing the moon's significant phases. Also print the rise and set times for the Sun and Moon for each day of any month. Great for planning observing sessions!

Minimum System Requirements:
TheSky6 is designed to run on the following operating systems: Windows 98, Windows ME,Windows NT4 (SP 6a required), Windows 2000, Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional. TheSky6 does NOT run under Windows 95. At least 200MB of disk space is required to install TheSky6 Student Edition and about 1GB for the Serious Astronomer Edition. Over 3GB is required for full installation of TheSky6 Professional Edition. At least 128MB of RAM is recommended (as always, more RAM is better), and a quad-speed or faster CD ROM or DVD drive is desirable during installation. Performance with a processor slower than a 200MHz Pentium or equivalent is likely to be unsatisfactory.
