Default RTGUI Now Reads GPS Devices

Version 3.0 of my free Real Time Astronomy program for Windows
has just been released. It can be downloaded at
http://www.debunker.com/astro/rtguipage.html

RTGUI can now very accurately set your location, and your PC's clock,
using most standard GPS devices. Also, the catalog has been enhanced
to contain longer names, and thousands of additional objects. New
auxiliary catalogs containing hundreds of thousands of objects
have been created for special requirements.

The Primary Features of "RTGUI" a
- A Real-Time program, tells what's visible instantly, using GUI
interface. No need to prepare observations in advance. Find deep-sky
objects or stars by their common names.
- Small and fast - Download is under 500k.
- Controls most Celestron and Meade "Goto" telescopes to slew
directly to the selected object!
- Using the Skycharts program (Cartes du Ciel), get an "instant sky
chart" of the selected object.
- Read hand-held GPS Devices to set highly-accurate Location and System
Time.
- Locate Sun, Moon, and Planets, with excellent accuracy.
- Can set the "night vision" color palette in Windows.
- Displays Altitude and Azimuth of Astronomical Objects, updated in
Real-Time, along with Rise and Set times.
- Automatically record object, time, & location information when the
Observing Log is opened
- Auxiliary Catalogs allow you to instantly locate hundreds of
thousands of objects, using standard astronomical nomenclature, a
time-saving tool for observing projects and for research.
