Next message: Wolfgang Köberer: "AW: Map Projections"
StarCalc by the Russian programmer Alexander Zavalishin is fantastic and is
free to download (+ many plugins) from his website
http://www.relex.ru/~zalex/main.htm
For max. effect make sure you use star colouring. Many features are
customiseable - read his instructions in the .txt files. I have been using
it for years and can't understand why he is not charging for it - he
explained to me once that this is his hobby and money he earns elsewhere.
