The Ancient Star Calendar... The Parapegma - Click on a image to explore the screen shots
	The Star Calendar 3,000 years ago the parapegma was the centre of daily life. When people lived by the rising and setting of stars. A engraved stone, with peg holes, so that pegs could be placed in the correct position, announcing the first visibility of certain stars. Which stars ruled the day, the period, when to plant and when to harvest. Starlight returns the parapegma to the astrologers tool kit. The date, time, and phase of every star as it returns to earth or become the evening or morning star - cosmic or apparent. Lunar phases, and planetary ingresses.
	Parapegma Options Starlight gives you total control over the information that you see in the parapegma, the stars set used, planets used, length of time and other celestial events.
	Create Charts for Celestial Events Click on any celestial event - a star rise, a lunar phase, a planetary ingress and Starlight will produce the chart for you to explore parans, or mundane events, or go to a full report.
The Star Catalogue - Click on a image to explore the screen shots Starlight has over 9,000 stars - every visible star in the night sky. The star catalogue has been complied starting with ALL of Ptolemy's bright stars, and his comments. Added to this master set of stars is all of the Yale Bright Star Catalogue plus additional material on star names gathered from many sources. If a star has a name, it is in Starlight, if a star just has a number but can be seen, it is also in Starlight.... Starlight allows you to use ALL of these 9,000 stars in chart work, the parapegma and of course the night sky.. Never before have astrologers had access to the whole visible sky. In order to handle this extraordinary large star catalogue Starlight provides you with ways of searching and selecting stars, to create your own star sets.
	Creating Sub Sets of Stars This is a listing of every bright red star in the sky, this sub set of stars was created from the master catalogue.
	The Catalogue Search Engine Create star sets using Starlight's special star catalogue search engine. This example is to create a star set which is every bright star whose proper name stars with "A".
	Saving Star Sets Save these star sets to use in chart parans, parapegma, reports or research.
