I have a friend who is a keen amateur astronomer. He is looking for any leads to astronomy based software. I have already found 'Starchart' for him but wondered if there are any other package available.

If Starchart is the program I'm thinking of (make cool postscript charts of a portion of the sky), it's great! I also used a program called "ephem" that was posted to comp.sources.something last year...works nicely on unix boxes... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Vince Skahan vince@atc.boeing.com ...uw-beaver!bcsaic!vince (place in heaven assured...I finished my 3-yr-old's swing set)
