Field notes
The page lists builds for Windows, macOS (Apple silicon and Intel), and Linux, with sample data, a guide, technical details, and comparison pages. It says images stay on the user's computer; network access is used for star-catalogue data and target names, with an offline mode available. The page also notes that the Windows installer is unsigned and may trigger SmartScreen, while macOS may require an explicit first-launch override.
