This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Sky guide � Alan Senior 1996 Version 0.16�
---------
I haven't got around to writing a decent guide yet, however I expect you will
not have too much trouble figuring out most of it. Here are a few notes to
help you.
1. The program needs to run in a square pixel mode, otherwise the display
looks dreadful. This means a multisync monitor is essential.
2. A lot of calculations are involved so an ARM3 or faster CPU is best. I
use a RiscPC 600. It does work on my A3000 but is VERY slow. It
seems that SIN and COS operations are pretty slow. I've pre-calculated
and used SIN/COS tables where sensible. I can't wait to see how a
StrongARM will run it!
3. The program is not finished.... hopefully it will be in a more
presentable form with the Orrery and horizon display working properly at
some point..... I've disabled/removed the horizon display and Orrery
code on this copy. I Think there are enough features to show the programs
potential and even in it's present form I find it useful.
4. It takes quite a while to load but does not require any disc accesses
afterwards.
5. Click select on the icon bar to open the star window. There will be a
short delay while the star and planet positions are calculated.
6. The button bar has the following functions, left to right they are:
a) Horizon/sphere toggle (does not work in this copy, but the mouse
'adjust' button on this icon magnifies the star field display!!)
b) RA and Declination controls pan and tilt the view point. The RA and
Dec numers are those for the centre of the display area.
c) Star count, shows the number of stars scanned for the set magnitude.
d) Magnitude limit for the display - lower numbers mean faster redraw!
The data base contains stars to magnitude 6.5 with a few down to
magnitude 7 such as the "Coat hanger" near Sagitta.
e) The group of 20 icons on the right in the button bar have the
following functions, top row first:
- Display lock, prevents update while various icons/time are changed.
Normally the display is updated afer every change.
- Stars on/off
- Messier on/off
- Constellation pattern on/off
- Solar system objects (planets/moon etc) on/off
- Grid on/off. The grid is at 30 minutes RA and 5 degree Dec
intervals.
- Object identification ring follows mouse pointer when on.
- Toggle identification ring on/off
- Open/close object information window (previous two icons are greyed
out when the object info window is closed)
- Open 'time setting' window
The bottom row:
- Real time update when pointer over window. updates display every
minute - useful during eclipses
- Toggle star names on/off. The number of star names that appear
depends on the magnitude limit. There are just over 300 named stars.
- Toggle messier reference on/off
- Toggle constellation names on/off
- Toggle solar system object names on/off
- The last 4 are various zoom factors. The magnitude limit is
automatically adjusted to a sensible value for different zoom
factors. At level 1 zoom even the sprawling Eridanus fits in. At
zoom level 4 Sagitta shows nicely. The Sun and moon are close to the
correct "size" at zoom 4. The planets are always plotted too big!
- Solar system object menu. Tick the ones to be displayed.
7. The menu in the star window can be used to find various things.
Constellations are highlighted when found to assist identification. The
Common names submenu allows patterns such as the "Teapot" or the "Winter
Triangle" to be seen. These patterns clear when a new Constellation is
selected. There are over 300 named stars in the menu! Stars can be found
by their Bayer designation too. The data base contains all 110 Messier
objects. I hope to add some of the more prominent NGC objects too.
8. Solar system objects are plotted in order of distance, so if Mercury is
in front of the sun it is plotted in front! I havent put in the code to
handle osculating elements yet so Pluto cannot be found.
9. The information window shows the horizon coordinates of any object. The
distance of solar system objects is also shown. I havent got around to
adding star/Messier distances mainly because I haven't found a data base
with that information in!
10 The umbra/penumbra are plotted to the correct scale/size. The sun and
moon are only the correct scale at zoom level 4 - remember this when you
are looking at eclipses! The moons position is calculated from the
surface of the earth - hence parallax is accounted for (the moon
therefore appears to move as your latitude/longitude on the earth
changes)
11 In the celestial sphere window, use the mouse "adjust" button with the
pointer near an object to move it towards the centre.
12 In the celestial sphere window, use the mouse "select" button with the
'Object Information' window open to display data on the object.
Alternatively turn on the identification ring and/or pointer tracking.
13 The Equatorial view displays a section of the sky along the ecliptic
(where the planets tend to be).
Select - updates the display
Menu - gives some options
Adjust - changes the star field magnifiation
14 All open windows update when the time is changed, the more open and the
more solar system object displayed - the slower it goes because of all
the calculations invoved!
15 The moon window shows the phase and the aparent inclination of the moons
axis relative to the earths.
16 The location window allows your geographical position, the window can be
edited but cannot be saved. Longitude must be in the range -180 (east) to
+180 (west).
