"RTGUI" Now Interfaces to "Skycharts"

I have just released the new version of my free Windows astronomy
program RTGUI, version 2.0. An interface has been added for the popular
Skycharts program (Cartes du Ciel). Now you can push a button and get an
'instant skychart' of the selected object. A number of other features
have been added, plus a few bug fixes.

RTGUI is a small, fast real-time 32-bit program for observers that gives
continuously-updated, highly accurate information about celestial
objects. The download size is under 400k. Its principal features a

· Rapidly locate deep-sky objects or stars from catalogs, using GUI
interface. Select objects by visibility.
· Controls most Celestron and Meade "Goto" telescopes to slew
directly to the selected object!
· Using the Skycharts program (Cartes du Ciel, see
http://www.stargazing.net/astropc/index.html ), get an "instant
sky chart" of the selected object.
· 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

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