SGT-MAX Desktop Planetarium with NGT Interface
This IBM PC compatible software beautifully represents the night sky on your computer screen, showing the position
of the telescope and guiding you to any object. It provides extremely detailed information on each object, shows
common names of objects, and allows you to toggle constellation lines on or off.
The SGT-MAX plots current
planetary positions, can zoom from 235° to one arc-minute fields of view, and is completely mouse-driveable. The
software is available in assorted database sizes from 55,000 to over 19,000,000 objects!

mounting.
