TheSky 6 uses photographic horizons that you make with your own digital
camera and panoramic stitching programs. It is really nice.

Rod,

I am looking for a program that will allow me to customize the visible sky
for my location. Specifically, I would like to enter the measurements for
my specific obstructions from my driveway viewing location (trees, houses,
small flying rodents) and have that selectable when I am using the program.
This will help me determine when I will be able to view items of interest.
Can TheSky 6 do that for me? If not TheSky, some other program?

Thanks,

Tom

3. I was somewhat dissappointed with the version 6 upgrade to TheSky.

Hi Del:

You might want to think about upgrading, anyway. It's not so much that

they

added so many more new things (though there is a lot of new stuff), it's

really

a question of 6's incredible degree of customization potential. This is

the

first program I've seen that gets close to allowing me to have the sky

exactly

the way I want it. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now, and have
barely scratched the surface of what's possible. Yes, there are some bugs,

but

the Bisque Bros have been quick to exterminate them, and I don't think

anything

fatal is left. Above and beyond everything else...man is it COOL to watch

the

summer Milky Way rise...in COLOR! :-)

Peace,
