Free astronomy software ALBIREO – in permanent development for astronomical education for 12 years!
ALBIREO targets astronomical education. It reflects the multidisciplinary character of Astronomy. The integrated star map contains many special visualization features. Also, estimation of telecope properties and the alignment to astronomical objects in the starry sky is part of the program.
The integrated SpaceLab module enables simple astronomical value conversions as well as complex calculations needed for e.g. astrophotography.
Detailed astronomical examinations can be done by data sheet calculations and enables filtering of special objects with special properties based on the underlying astronomical database.
Because of the numberous visualisation options ALBIREO is made for astronomical education as well as for detailed oberservation preparation.
