Has anyone had and experience with a planetarium simulator called "Superstar" yet? I have been meaning to write a small simulator for some time now, but lack the time to get anything done. If this program is what the ad claims I'll kill my project and buy it. For what its worth here's what the ad says: 10,000 stars to mag 6.5 1000 variables to mag 8 8 planets, sun, moon to historical time pluto and 4 asteroids from 1800 - 2000 All Messier objects and numeros NGC objects display any area of the sky to any limiting magnitude time lapse to show planetary motions blinking variables user may add objects No comment on if a 512k Mac is needed - it costs about $70 (Lumicon 415 - 447-9570) Steve Crandall ihnp4!mhuxt!evans
