The programs portrayed on this page have in common the feature that:
1) They concern themes related to Astronomy; namely to amateur astronomical observation.
2) They are Freeware (free without restrictions) or Shareware (free on a "try before you buy" basis) without practical restrictions (they will not stop working) - the exceptions are marked. Still, I recall that, when applicable, the Shareware concept implies that, should you wish to use the programs on a permanent basis, you are obliged to compensate the authors.
3) They have quality. We tried to select the best; not to make an exhaustive list.

For each program you will find:
1) A short description/comment of its functions.
2) A screenshot (showing how the program looks like and what it can do).
3) Three links; respectively to:
  a) Its homepage (when existent).
  b) Immediate Download (from a location selected by us - whenever possible, the homepage).
  c) FTP search through an external search engine - shows in a separate window the alternative locations worldwide from where to download the file (not always available).
