Nightshade Legacy

Nightshade Legacy was originally a fork of the award-winning Stellarium software, but tailored for planetarium and educator use. (The Nightshade project lead was also part of the Stellarium development team.) Nightshade Legacy (version 11.x) is not being developed further. Nightshade G3 is our focus of development.
