It includes native telescope control for virtually all commercial telescopes, plus Native Telescope Control -- with no third-party drivers required. With the Data Wizard, you can perform many different tasks & analyze all the data available in TheSky6. The software has a completely redesigned Field of View Indicator interface. Simply select your hardware from its database of equipment, and TheSky6 automatically generates a list of all possible fields of view for all your equipment. Customize the format of printed star charts -- including Standard, Feature Object, AAVSO format and moreCustomer Review: Lacks Printed Manual & One use software
Two annoyances with this software, so far... I have only recently begun to use Sky and don't really understand all the functionality yet. One of the major factors impeding progress is the lack of a printed manual with the software. There is a 225 page PDF file/manual which explains it functionality but that is not the same as a printed manual. Constantly referencing the PDF file is a pain. The license for the software is for one computer which of course means not on your lap top for use at telescope and on a desktop with a large screen in your home. This is too restrictive.
Customer Review: Not a better program or support.
There isn't a better program for astronomers. The Sky Six has everything one could ever need. With it's itnergration for telescopes and with CCD Software. What more could you want. They have downloads for patches and not just to fix stuff. They also have new functions and features in those downloads. There customer support is the best I have ever gotten from a software company. They not only care but they fix your problems! I can't recommend this software any more than I am. My top rating.
Are you annoying of adware and spyware every time you open any websites? They have now reached epidemic proportions. They are every where in the cyber world. Here are four methods to remove or simply avoid adware and spyware without spending a dime on the latest "anti-virus" software.
1. Do not use Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer is like Swiss cheese. It is open to the world by default. Microsoft is continually releasing patches to fix all the flaws in the Internet Explorer 6.X and lower versions of the browser. Although it can be "secured" by increasing the security it may loose much of its functionality once set to maximum security with certain exploitable features off.
2. It is highly recommended you should use Firefox. If you don't use the Internet much, than perhaps you don't know much about Firefox. All you need to know is that it is a browser that works REALLY well and has great security features.
3. Use a software or hardware firewall (not just Window XP Service Pack 2's firewall). This may sound expensive and hard to do but it is not. If you have a DSL or broadband cable connection your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may have given you a DSL/Cable router with a firewall built in. All you have to do is turn it on. This may require you to take a few minutes to read the manual. If your ISP did not give you a DSL or Cable broadband router with a built in firewall you can spend anywhere from $20 - $60 (or sometimes even cheaper with a mail-in rebate) to get a router. If you have DSL you will need a DSL router. If you have Cable broadband ISP you will need a Cable Router. Brands such as Linksys have built in firewalls and a feature called NAT, Network Address Translation, which is very effective since it hides your real IP address from the Internet. All routers come with instruction on how to hook them up. If you want to keep you computer security free, just use a free software firewall.
4. Remove spyware/adware with free anti-spyware, anti-adware software. Other two excellent methods of cleaning your system for free are Lavasoft's Adaware and Spybot Search & Destroy.
It is better to use all of the above methods. Being proactive by surfing with a decent browser and getting a firewall is important, but it also helps to know about a couple of good anti-adware/spyware applications. There are many great forums on the Internet dedicated to doing nothing but finding and cleaning such malware. Chances are if your system is infected with it, hundreds of others before you have been infected and have already figured out how to get rid of the malware.
