Check out SkySafari+.... It is in the App Store. Works on iPhone,
iPad.... Not expensive.

Does anyone know if Berkeley has a site license, departmental license,
or some other way to access software for producing astronomical maps,
either free or at a discount? I'm working with a graduate student in
history (who's writing on celestial signs and political rhetoric in
early China) who needs to:
1) see how the sky looked at different moments in the past, including
the location of planets
2) produce charts, and label the charts, with Chinese constellations,
names of stars, and names of planets
3) draw lines from one place in the sky to another, ideally with a 360
degree field of view, to show the paths authors imagined in celestial
journey poetry.
He knows of one piece of software, Starry Night Pro, that can do all
this, but the $150 price tag is steeper than he'd like. Does this
sound like something that could be done with any other software
already available on campus?
Thanks,
Quinn
