I have just released my new free Windows astronomy program RTGUI. This
is a real-time 32-bit program for observers that gives continuously-updated, highly accurate information about celestial objects.
The principal features are:
- Rapidly locate deep-sky objects or bright stars from catalogs.
- Easy-to-use GUI interface, complete documentation & "help" menu.
- Create a custom "tour" based on your own criteria.
- Locate the Sun, Moon, and Planets with excellent accuracy.
- Controls many Celestron and Meade "Goto" telescopes to slew
directly to the selected object.
- Automatically record object, time, & location information
when the Observing Log is opened
- Display altitude and azimuth of Astronomical Objects In Real-Time.
- Set up "night vision" mode in Windows to preserve your eyes'
dark adaptation.
It is free for noncommercial users, although donations are accepted. If users
of the program have any comments on it, I would appreciate hearing them.
