[APML] Star chart software (was Comet Ikeya-Zhang)

["Bobby Middleton" <bobm@koyote.com>]

I'm very jealous of the nice chart you provided from Starry Night at the
link below. How did you update the comet elements into your software? Is
your version of SN the Pro version or one of the less expensive versions?
Would others recommend SN or perhaps other software? I have Megastar v3.1.6
so it's outdated. Is there a later version of Megastar that can easily have
comet elements added into the program for such events as comet Ikeya-Zhang?
