So with the two I got this AM (sky64.zip and sky64aux.zip) is this all I need right now? Unzip everything to the same folder and then "setup" I assume. Interesting that we have several here who enjoy the ecc birds. I will post any sightings I make. I recall the 28 degree Centuar rkts always seemed to have wonderfull flash periods. It would be great to find some with higher inclination orbits. We shall see! clear skies, Jim > > > Who doesn't ? > > I'm sure you would like star maps plotted with your predictions.
