Publisher's Description
From Coeli Software Products:
Complete astronomy software suite exploring realistic skies in real time, with observing log, Sky Quiz, Live Orbits, telescope support, spoken pronunciation guide, a half-million word Encyclopedia Astronomica, and concentrated searches embracing planets, comets, asteroids, DSOs, and over 300,000 stars. An integral HTML guide to the solar system, a 1000-term astronomical dictionary, and the 2nd revised and enlarged edition of Aspects of Astronomy--a book-length primer covering topics such as "What are the Stars?", "Choosing a Telescope", "Cosmology", "Dark Matter", "Eclipses", and "The History of Astronomy", to name but a few--are closely coordinated with the sky display and picture windows.
Stella 2000 talks and teaches aloud. With complete incorporation of Microsoft Agent speech technology, animated characters guide you painlessly through the pronunciation of a myriad arcane star names and lore, and even read aloud from Astrogloss and Aspects of Astronomy.

"Should be cheaper"
Version: Stella 2000 6.01
Pros
It's fun to play around with, but really costs too much. I found better astronomy software here for less.
-
"Difficult to use, costs too much"
Version: Stella 2000 6.01
Cons
I thought this program was too hard to do anything with. I don't mean it's too complicated, I mean the interface is badly designed and it takes too many steps to get it to show what I want or to customize it. Plus, it's way too expensive for what you get.

"it suxx"
Version: Stella 2000 6.01
Summary
this program is colourfull and useless. It is made for fun but not to help astronomers. A true astronomical software is SkyMap.

"Leader of the pack"
Version: Stella 2000 6.01
Summary
This software is beautiful, fast, and extremely accurate. Perhaps the most notable feature as regards user friendliness is the sheer variety of ways to accomplish the same thing: context menus, keypresses, or dialogs: not many programs boast this sort of consideration for the various working methods found among different users. The best of these ideas, IMO, is the flexible context menu system - in both the sky display and many of the other 'departments'. Stella's interface is fluid in use and very forgiving. I'm not surprised that this program has achieved the download count it has, since it is one of the best astronomy programs I've tried. There are no better programs out there for the money, not even among the many freeware offerings. Well done, Coeli!
