Default Just Released: Free Windows Astronomy Program, Controls Many Goto Telescopes


I have just released my new free Windows astronomy program RTGUI. This
is a real-time 32-bit program for observers that gives
continuously-updated, highly accurate information about celestial
objects. Its principal features a

- Rapidly locate deep-sky objects or bright stars from catalogs.
- Easy-to-use GUI interface, complete documentation & "help" menu.
- Create a custom "tour" based on your own criteria.
- Locate the Sun, Moon, and Planets with excellent accuracy.
- Controls many Celestron and Meade "Goto" telescopes to slew
directly to the selected object.
- Automatically record object, time, & location information
when the Observing Log is opened
- Display altitude and azimuth of Astronomical Objects In Real-Time.
- Set up "night vision" mode in Windows to preserve your eyes'
dark adaptation.


The program is at www.debunker.com/astro/rtguipage.html . The program is
free for noncommercial users, although donations are accepted. If users
of the program have any comments on it, I would appreciate hearing them.
