Paul,
It is a bit more complicated than previously indicated.
A programmer, while working at Carina software, created SkySafari in his spare time, from what I understand.
There was then some dispute about ownership that I believe was resolved.
Voyager is my favourite program but the around a year ago it failed an update which I believe was caused by the asteroid database becoming too large for the program to handle. Then on top of that one of the download web sites, the minor planet centre, if I recall correctly, changed its download location.
I resolved the first by reinstalling the program and notupdating the minor planet database and the comet issue by manually downloading the elements when I need them. There are instructions in the manual for doing this.
They do not appear to have been providing support for some time, unfortunately, but with these minor issues the program continues to work okay for me.
Trying today the web site appears down, whether this is temporary or not we will have to wait and see.
Regards
Paul
