Epoch 2000sk Sky Software:
Meade Epoch 2000sk astro-nomical
software (Fig. 35) has created a revolution in the way amateur
astronomers prepare for observing sessions at the tele-scope. For
Epoch 2000sk presents on the display of a personal computer an
incredibly detailed simulation of the entire sky, including up to 281,000
celestial objects. Epoch 2000sk allows the presentation of the most
complex star fields just as they actually appear through the telescope.
And yet, notwithstanding its precision and detail, Epoch 2000sk is easy
and intuitive to use, even by the novice. Epoch 2000sk operates the
ETX-90EC through a laptop computer in the field using the #497
Autostar Computer Controller and #505 Connector Cable Set. Epoch
