Re: ATM astronomy software?

Charles,

Try the demo from Sienna for Starrynight
http://www.starrynight.com/

Starrynight has great graphics and kids will enjoy it more than
the professional programs with a lot of dots they won't understand
yet. Let them play with it on the 'puter for a night or two and they'll
be dying to find stuff in the night sky. When you put an arrow on
a planet and zoom in the program provides a picture of the planet
taken with a pro scope......same with the moon. 

I highly suggest it for kids, and lazy ATMs like me since it gives
all the info on location "now" quickly.
