[AZ-Observing] Re: Star Atlas / Charting Software

I think I'm going to get on the pre-order list for SkyTools V 3.0, it 
comes out Dec 1. Buncha new features. It can simulate just about any 
telescope, finder or naked eye view, either symbolic or photo-realistic. 
It says it shows the actual brightness of variable stars on the charts 
and they change in real time, that's a new one.
