These let you know exactly what you will see in your eyepiece, CCD or finder. The Solar System Report dialog box, shown here, gives quick access to data for the planets and our moon. It also gives rise, set and twilight times for the month. There is a night mode which is supposed to help you maintain your night vision by reducing the amount of light hitting your eye. This is done by using just black and red.
Red light is safe for night vision.
Well the program still leaves the standard title and menu bars. Kinda makes the night mode useless. The Moon Phases tool shows a lot of information, not all of it about the moon. The calendar shows what the phase will be for each day with the full, new and mid phases highlighted by a darker border. It also shows the sunrise, sunset and twilight times.
