' Dynamic Skies ' Register.doc
This current version is a shortened version of Dynamic Skies V1.0.
Here follows a list of what's missing from the registered version :
- The EVENTS module ( which gives you events dates )
- Loading and saving of animations.
- The precise planetary theory VSOP 87.
Of the two star libraries released in this public domain version, only
'Cat2000_mag4' has complete data on stars ( proper movements, radial velocity
and so on ). 'Yale_mag6', although incomplete in terms of data, has many
more stars ( >5000 stars ). Registered users will immediately get 'Yale_mag8'
( 10000 stars ).
For deep-sky objects, only 'BasicNGC', short in objects and data, is
available right now. later on, registered users will get a huge library based
on the Catalogue 2000.0 VOL 2 ( a good reference ! ).
The lucky registered will also get small utilities which will let you
import other existing libraries, from Amiga or PC world, be they in binary
or text format. But you'll have anyway to know relatively well how they are
built. My utilities will assist you on this.
Last thing, and not the least, future versions are planned. Details are
given at the end of this doc. I'll try to stick to these versions at the rate
of one every 6 months or sooner ; and I'll take in account your remarks and
bug reports of course. Please note that updating is free, whatever the
number of updates.
Now you have no reason not to register, haven't you ? What ? I can't hear
you ? The price ? Oh yeah, I almost forgot ! Well, for Dynamic Skies V1.0
registered version, plus a new star library plus free updates plus free new
libraries, I ask a round 45 US$. Nice, isn't it ?
As I'm French and shall have a hell of problems cashing checks, I'll ask
you to send me ONLY International Money Orders at my name. Here are my
coordinates again :
