New Starry Night Panorama
      #2361922 - 04/30/08 12:29 PM

I've created a panorama of the Eagle Eye Observatory, the Austin Astronomical Society's dark sky site near Burnet, Texas. It's available here:
http://tinyurl.com/5rfatq

To install, unzip the file and place the .psd & .txt files in the /Applications/Starry Night Pro 6/Starry Night Pro 6.app/Contents/
Resources/Sky Data/Horizon Panoramas folder. (The path may vary on Windows--check the SNP docs.) Mac users will need to select the Starry Night Pro application and right/control-click and select "Show Package Contents."

More info on the EEO is here for the curious:

That's a great spot! I've done a star party there once, about 4 years ago. It's extremely well laid out, and the location is hard to beat.

Jeff,
Thanks! I just added it to my Mac. I have been down to EEO several times and have always enjoyed the company of the AAS folks.
