HNSKY or Hallo Northern Sky is a popular freeware planetarium program for Linux and Microsoft Windows to simulate the night sky. It is provided with several non-English language modules, numerous astronomical catalogues, conversion utilities and tools, as well as several stellar databases.
HNSKY was originally created by Dutchman Han Kleijn in 1998, who continues to develop and maintain the application. It is available in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
Initially a basic planetarium program, it has expanded in functionality to include the ability to control computerised GoTo telescope mounts, and is ASCOM compliant and supports the USNO's UCAC catalogs and ESA Gaia data.
