| That should be something. I'm a telescope person, I have a Meade 5" with a ton of lenses, even an adapter for my Nikons. Charles

| Funny, I just installed last week. This is the BETA version, I'm curious to see what else in store. It makes me want a telescope with GPS even more! Thanks for posting It's worth the install as long as you have a good graphics card |

 I was 10 years old when i got my first scope. I still remember the "awe" in seeing the craters of the moon and the ring around Saturn.
