HNSKY was originally created by Dutchman Han Kleijn in 1998, who continues to develop and maintain the application. It is available in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
Initially a basic planetarium program, it has expanded in functionality to include the ability to control computerized GoTo telescope mounts, and is ASCOM and INDI compliant and supports the USNO's UCAC catalogs and ESA Gaia data.
