RTGUI ver 7.0 released

[Starkler (Geoff)]

Version 7.0 just released.

RTGUI is a small freeware program designed to show "whats up" at any particular time in the sky. Its great for generating observing lists and can search on object type, magnitude and many other parameters.

It plugs into Cartes Du Ciel and can drive Meade goto scopes as well

IMO its about the most useful astronomy freeware program out there.

Check it out here http://www.rtgui.com/

Hi I'll check it out, I am looking around for software lik this to use when I buy a Goto scope, have you seen the "Deep Sky" one?
not free but has a good demo video online

RTGUI should be compulsory kit for every observer

Downloaded just then.. will use it to plan some observing objects for SPSP this weekend. I hope the clouds agree, and let me get some observing in!
