Hubble-II is the 2nd generation of an astronomy software application which provides astronomical simulations
in the same way as seen at a planetarium. Hubble can display over 160,000 Stars and Deep Space Objects, along with over 3,500 Comets and Asteroids.
You can even extend those databases by adding your own objects.
With Hubble, you can simulate viewing celestial bodies of past,
present and future skies, as seen from anywhere on Earth.
Hubble can also animate the motion of those Stars, DSOs, Planets and Comets as they move across the sky and orbit our Sun
5 different views of the sky are provided

The Star Chart View shows the Universe of Stars, DSOs and Comets as seen in an Astronomy Handbook

The Horizon View shows the sky as seen from your location, looking out at the horizon
♆ ♆ ♆
The Zenith View shows the sky as seen from your location, looking up at the sky directly overhead

The Solar System View shows the Planets and Comets orbiting our Sun from above the Ecliptic Plane

The Moon's of Jupiter View shows the Jovian Moons as they orbit Jupiter
Telescope Mount Control is also provided in Hubble. If you have a telescope that is controlled by the
ASCOM Platform, it can be pointed at any of the displayed
celestial bodies with the simple click of a mouse!
The Hubble-II Planetarium Simulator is a great learning tool for anyone interested in astronomy, as well as those who just marvel at viewing the night sky.
