I had forgotten about that one - I have it, but haven't used it in
quite a while.

I just took a peek at celestia it looks like a good piece of software.
How would you rate it against Stellarium?


Oh gosh - it's been a while. *When I used it last, the base gazing
software is very cool and does what it's supposed to do. * The planet
fly-bys and various space craft seem a little gimmicky to me, but I do
like the photo realistic closeups. *I'm not knocking it, but I like
the plain old Stellarium package out of the box. *The odd thing is I
like it better than Starry Nights which is a pretty good program for
just gazing.


I have several professional level auto-ranging programs for my
Celestron so I can track satellites, the Space Lab and the shuttle
flights automatically. *Stellarium ranks right up there in terms of
graphics - in some ways it's better.


If you haven't discovered the zoom keys in stellarium yet, they are page
up and page down.


I found it, but I haven't played with it much yet - I was bouncing
back and forth between programs comparing graphics. *:)


I really like this program. *For shareware, it's a good one - enough
to pay for it in my opinion.


I got a Meade goto scope for Christmas but didn't get the cable to
download satellite information yet. I have read that visible satellite
flybys are brief and occur just before sunrise. Have you had good
experience viewing satellites?- Hide quoted text -

D'oh. Look at the headers, **** for brains...it's one of the ID
spoofers. I have not a clue what a Meade "goto" scope is. Why would I
want to waste my time and evenings looking at satellite fly-bys? It's
not like I'm SW tom or flajim or the other old farts with nothing better
to do at night.
