My website on deep sky and mapping software
      #266068 - 11/29/04 08:00 AM

It is here, and it mainly includes Deep Sky contents and software:

- The mapping software (freeware) I am developing (for MS Windows), have a look, I think it is very useful.
- Three articles at the moment: (1) How to predict the visibility of stellar and nonstellar objects, (2) filters for astronomical purposes, and (3) binocular observing. I will include more in the next weeks.
- Some information about deep sky astronomy, observing places, instruments, etc
- A 40 pages PDF document with constellation plots and tables with the basic data for aprox. 5000 deep sky objects (to be printed and used as complement of your favourite atlas).
- A program to predict the visibility of deep sky objects.
- A PDF with plots to calculate visibility and other useful PDFs.

The web is not completely finished (although only three links are unconnected), and I have not stored my observations yet, but I think that what contains is nice and practical. I hope you like it, and wait for your feedback.

Thank you, Chris! Try the software, I think it is the best I have prepared, and the maps are rather good. I have also prepared maps for almost a thousand planetary nebulae, and I would like to link them in a couple of weeks.
