Dark adapted and highly functional clock paying homage to two Omega wristwatches and the Saturn V guidance computer all of which had played their own part in mankind’s exploration of space.
The OMEGA SPEEDMASTER, of 5 watches from different brands submitted to NASA, only this model survived the vigorous testing and went on to be worn on the moon! This clock features its stopwatch and tachymeter.
The OMEGA SPEEDMASTER SKYWALKER X-33, this both analogue and digital watch was developed for the European Space Agency to assist astronauts in planning their mission tasks. This clock bundles in the majority of its functions.
The SATURN V GUIDANCE COMPUTER used a system of Verbs and Nouns, this clock has been programmed so that each function is assigned a verb, each function then has 8 nouns (variables) available to it. The clock automatically knows the correct set of nouns to use by the function that is currently selected.
This clock also includes some important astronomical functions, such as Solar Rise and Set, Lunar Phase, Rise and Set, Sidereal time, UTC time and much more.
I use this personally in my home obsevatory and to assist me with timings when tuning into U.S rocket launches from the UK. I hope that this can proove useful for others too.
Download all files from the v2_0 folder (or latest version folder if applicable), execute AstroClock.exe. Please note that this is an x64 application for Windows. I can supply a x32 build if required, i can also create customised versions, although would expect a fee for this.
I have also tested under Linux x64 using Wine and can confirm it runs perfectly.
