"Photographers that want to explore the universe of night and sky photography should look at Stellarium, a free, open source planetarium software package. It is available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. It offers you the ability to enter your own location, save it as a preset and use it to find out the times of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, phase, proximity of other night sky objects. Stellarium renders realistic skies in real time. With Stellarium, you really see what you can see with your eyes, binoculars or a small telescope. Ideal to find out the best locations for night time photography, the program can be downloaded from www.stellarium.org."
