This list of 111 objects by A.J. Crayon and Steve Coe is used by members of the Saguaro Astronomy Club of Phoenix, AZ, for the Best of the NGC achievement award.

This script based on data from book “Binocular Highlights” by Gary Seronik.

Ben Crowell has created Binosky, an observing list of Deep Sky Objects for Binoculars. In the script we give a list of these 31 objects, ordered by Right Ascension (2000.0).

Earth and other planet’s Greatest Elongations and Oppositions from Mars 2000-3000.

Earth Greatest Elongations and Transits from Callisto 2000-3000. Why Callisto? Well of the 4 Galilean Moons, Callisto is the only one outside of Jupiter’s radiation belt. Therefore, if humans ever colonize Jupiter’s moons, Callisto will be the one.

Earth the other visible Planet’s Greatest Elongations and Oppositions from Ceres 2000-2200.

Fly from Earth to Mars in 20 seconds, keeping the camera on the Sun

Cycle around the Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto. The cameras cycle from inner to outer moons, pointing inward to the nearest moon. Io is the innermost of the four Galilean moons and points to Amalthea. It could just as well be pointed at Jupiter itself, but it’s a bit more dynamic when pointing at Amalthea.

There is a 5-second wait before starting the cycle. Newer versions of Stellarium (I’ve tested this script on 0.18.0) seem to error out if the camera movements start right when the script does, so the delay gives the program a few seconds to “settle” before moving to the first camera. The last version that seemed to be reliable in this sense was 0.16.

This script demonstrates mutual events of Jupiter’s Galilean moons from 2025 to 2027.

A demonstration of the lunar analemma - the path of the Moon across the sky during the lunar month on Earth. Due to the Earth rotation and the Moon orbital motion; time interval isn’t equal 24 hours. It can be calculated by using the formula for synodic period: 1/S = 1/E - 1/M, where the corresponding periods are the sidereal day on Earth (1/E) and the sidereal lunar month (1/M).

View of Earth’s moon from the perspective of Mars

Moon hopping, up to Saturn. See the planets up close from their innermost moons, working outwards. Includes Earth and the four Galilean moons of Jupiter.

Demonstration of the mid-time of rare events - triple shadow phenomena of the satellites of Jupiter from 1900 to 2100. All events are given in Dynamical Time.

The planet Jupiter sometimes appears to be without moons, when the four Galilean satellites are simultaneously invisible because they are passing across the planet’s disk (transit), are behind the planet (occultation), or are in its shadow (eclipse). This script demonstrates these rare phenomena from 1900 to 2100 in Dynamical Time.

This script demonstrates interesting phenomena - occultations bright stars by planets, 2000 to 2040.

This script demonstrates interesting and very rare phenomena - mutual occultations of planets, 0 to 2500.

Neptune from its moon Naiad

Script will go to the best time to view selected planet and give more ephemeris like RA and Dec from Sun, phase, rise, set, transit times, ring angle for Saturn, magnitudes and earth shine and more!!

Script will display the selected planet’s (currently only Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn ) events like Opposition, Closest Approach, Start and Stop Retrograde, Quadratures, CoQuadratures, Superior Conjunction, Aphelion, Perihelions, Seasons, Top & bottom of Zodiac, Ring tilts and more. Includes ephemeris like Phase, rise, set, transit times, magnitudes and earth shine and more!!

Just before Mars eclipses the sun, Phobos pops out from behind and eclipses it first. Takes place between Scorpio and Sagittarius on April 26, 2017.

Just before Mars eclipses the sun, Phobos pops out from behind and eclipses it first. Takes place between Taurus and Gemini on July 23, 2031.

Phobos eclipsing the Sun as seen from Olympus Mons on Jan 10, 2068.

Phobos occultations of Earth are common, as are occultations of Jupiter. But occultations of both on the same day are very rare. Here’s one that takes place 1/23/2048. In real speed.

Phobos races ahead of Mars and transits the sun, passes through it and then retrogrades back towards the sun and just partially transits it again (only seen in the southern hemisphere of Deimos), then Mars totally eclipses the sun while Phobos transits in darkness between Mars and Deimos. When Phobos emerges from Mars it is still eclipsed and dimmed in Mars’ shadow, only to light up later.

Screensaver of various happenings in the Solar System. 300 events in all!

This script is meant for a tour the 27 stars that are of the solar spectral type G2V greater than magnitude Vmag=6.5. The program was generated using data from [http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/db-perl/W3Browse/w3table.pl?tablehead=name%3Dhipparcos&Action=More+Options Hipparcos Catalog]. All G2V stars brighter than Vmag = 6.5 HIP=Hipparos Identifier. HIP 71683 Alpha Centauri A is the only star with known extrasolar planet in this list. CSPAR-The University of Alabama in Huntsville.

6 Scripts in all showing conjunctions between the planets and bright stars. The conjunction of stars include Aldebaran, Antares, The Beehive, The Pleiades, Regulus and Spica.
