- This program was originally designed several years ago as an aid to
- myself, (an amateur stargazer), in locating the planets and constellations. I
- tend to forget where things are between my periods of observation, and I find
- this program of great value in re-orienting myself.

- ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS and ENHANCEMENTS
- ------------------------------------
-
- I have already finished a variation of this program that will locate
- and highlight NEBULAS and other Diffuse objects in the Sky. There are also a
- few operational differences, such as a dynamic Cursor that locates objects in
- Azimuth and Altitude for easy Local reference. For a Registration Fee of $30,
- Plus $3 for Postage and Handling, ($33 Total) I will send you a 360k Diskette
- containing this New Program. Or, if you are already a Registered Owner, I will
- send it for $13.
-
-

-
-
- I am working on other variations, such as Comet Tracking, and Binary
- Star Location. These will be available soon, and registered owners of the orig-
- nal program will be notified.
