Re: [ATM] telescope emulation software

Martin, Saqib,

This program is 'vollig auf Deutsch': could not find any lingo choice.
It shows you what other planetarium programs show you, except that you have
a few more controls to use to adjust viewing conditions, and to log your
sessions. However it will not show you what you would see through the
telescope, so it does not exactly do what Saqib wants it to do.
I don't see why it has to be a 32 MBytes download.
