["Rick Tejera" <saguaroastro@xxxxxxx>]

That's not really what I was getting at. Tom's original request was for
files that list the objects in the observing programs our clubs offer to be
used in Megastar. I know most planetarium programs have this kind of
feature. I was suggesting the files be collected and offered for download
for users of the programs. 

I think most planetariums use the SAC database, (SkyMap Pro Does) But that
doesn't help you keep tabs on only, the SAC 110 Or EVAC 200 Like the target
list feature in SkyMap (Which I believe to be analogous to Toms Feature in
Megastar

I'm glad you like Guide, But SkyMap has been accurate enough for my
purposes, I've never failed to find Jupiter :)

FYI, Guide v8 (projectpluto.com) already has the SAC database and 
observations by Coe available (as well as NGC-IC project, and Steve 
Gotlieb).

in addition, it calculates the most accurate positions of solar system 
objects (and artificial satellites). ..............Sam
