Abstract

This paper designs and implements a kind of star finder emulator software whose interface is very similar to the classic TS series of star finder. This software solves several intrinsic limitations such as immutable horoscopical data and latitudinal discretization of horizontal coordinate mesh, while it can calculate the altitude/azimuth of the stars in real time and automatically locate the starry sky so as to greatly reduce the complexity of user operation, meanwhile it offers several utility functions such as visible star catalogue

Key words： star finder; star atlas; horizontal coordinate mesh; starry sky location
