One of my favourite subjects is astronomy, and being able to fuse that with my passion for programming is the greatest feeling.

Here are some tutorials based on an astronomical program, Urania, which I wrote as a little pet project. You can download the full source code for the application here. This application is still a work in progress, so expect rough edges here and there in it, although the calculations should all be accurate, or at least accurate within their margin of error. If you find any bugs too, please let me know.

Please do the check back regularly as I will adding more as time goes on.

Hope you enjoy it.
