SkytechX is a free astronomical planetarium for rendering real objects (stars, planets, comets, etc.) on the map.
The program works within the range of years 1 AD and 3000 AD and the main catalogue is Tycho2, with more than 2.5 millions of bright stars. The customized internal catalogue of non-stellar objects has been composed of several sources, like NGC, IC, PGC, Messier, etc., and contains more than 100,000 of objects. The planetarium allows you to connect your telescope via the ASCOM6 platform. You can search for solar or moon eclipses, planet conjunctions, and other events in given time range.

I have been using this program for several years now and it is my goto program for all things "planetarium". Plus, it communicates with my image acquisition software (both APT and N.I.N.A.).My only complaint is that current comet data is not uploading correctly such that no comet data is displayed.My only other comment is for the author Pavel Mraz, please continue to update this amazingly good planetarium app.
