да, я работал.

прога как по мне - пустышка. просто красивая 3д модель. но она не знает почти никаких объектов Месье, ни NGC.

созвездия можно активировать клавишей ?/ это при англиской раскладке.

а вообще

И кстати есть какой нить гибрид СталКалка и Такой селестии ...

Такую программу наряду с биноклем или
небоьшим телескопом (до 70мм) можно было бы
использовть как планетарий на уроках астономии или
в школной астрономической обсерватории для
популяризации астрономии в кругах школьников.

Если посоветуете то обещаю поексперементировать на
шурине .. ему как раз 11 лет.
Самое время познакомить со звездным небом
