I'd like to look at AstroHelper, but I'm getting a bad link. I have searched for alternatives but all send me to the same place, eg. http://casazza.myvnc.com/astrohelper/

Can anyone direct me to a copy of AstroHelper, please.

I have read:-
AstroHelper v0.0b Home Page: http://casazza.myvnc.com/astrohelper/ Mark Casazza
Version Release Date:
Shareware version: Freeware
Filename: astrohelper.zip Size: 3.4 MB
Details: Astro Helper will tell you the angle of elevation above the horizon (altitude) and the direction in degrees from North (Azimuth) of the selected objects. It will simultaneously display the coordinates of 22 objects from a database of over 22,000 objects. With these coordinates you can point your Dobsonian mounted telescope or other Alt/Az mounted scope. If you have an equatorial mounted scope these values will not help you at all, sorry.


EDIT: - Update - I've found the author's website and have it now:- http://casazza.net/astrohelper/
