Dudes.....

I've been messing with it for about two hours - it's incredible.

And for zippo - nada - zero - no bucks. I have some professional
programs for my Celestron telescope that aren't this good.

Amazing.

My dad was quite a star gazer, Tom. He would have absolutely loved

He was 84 when he passed away two years ago, and he would have never
drempt stuff like this was possible.

Amazing isn't the word. Who needs a telescope?

That is a cool piece of software.

Thanks!

Wow, what a timely link. Just the other night I was gazing at the sky
with my wife and we got into a heated debate. "Shirley, that can't be
Sirius..."
