Designed specifically for the experienced astronomy enthusiast and containing the most up to date technology - including telescope control, RedShift" 6 is ideal for your in-the-field observation. This user friendly program provides you with stunning deep sky photography based on the latest discoveries and established star catalogues. Advanced tracking and visualization tools enable you to chart thousands of asteroids, comets and even meteor showers it's your complete guide to the night skies!

Telescope Control:RedShift 6 controls most popular brands of robotic telescopes and all ASCOM compliant telescopes. Target your telescope at any object in the sky to see how it looks in reality, or if you find and observe a mysterious object in the heavens and wonder what it is, just ask RedShift to reproduce your telescope view and show you everything about your target.

Ideal for your in-the-field observation!

Access To The Online Google Map: Along with an updated map of the Earth included in RedShift you also have access to the online Google map and can view anywhere on the planet in more detail.

Access To Online Digitised Sky Surveys:Download a digitized image of any selected region of the heavens to compare the virtual sky in RedShift to a real photo.

Macro Recoder:You can create your very own Guided Tours by using the Macro Recorder tool. You can also add various multimedia files to your tour like photos and music, or just your comments about the scenario as it is played.

3D-Flight And Joystick Control: Now you can smoothly fly among the planets and stars on the RedShift sky in a special 3D-flight mode and study celestial bodies from a close distance. You can also use a joystick to control your 3D-flight and other actions in RedShift.
