Using my first astronomy software,
Redshift 2.0 from
Maris. CD-ROM based, it works on both my PCs and Macs. I can use it at home and my Mom's.
I'm really enjoying using it, planning for events, printing reversed charts. I like the animated tours as well. Flying through space around the solar system is very cool.
It features:
- 250 000 stars, asteroids, and comets
- 40 000 deep sky objects
- 700 full-screen photographs of planets, nebulae, etc.
- seems to go down to magnitude 10...
One problem I'm having is that the software seems unable to find existing QuickTime software if installing onto a new computer. So, you have to let the
RedShift install QuickTime. Then you can reinstall QuickTime after that.
