KAstrHorloge is an astronomy software for Linux & KDE.
KAstrHorloge is provided with a 10000 stars database. For any of these stars or planets, the software can compute its position in the sky of your observation site. It displays the object location both in a map and in terms of coordinates (alpha and delta)
For each star or planet, you can add your own comments (for example, some physical data, or observation comments) and even a CCD image of the object !
All functions of KAstrHorloge are intuitive and easily accessible, so you can use this software without reading the doc !
Good observations !
