Hi folks, After two weeks in New Zealand, I finally got clear skies here in the mountain town of Te Anau. Last night I got a magnificent view of the stars over Lake Te Anau. I got my first good view of the Southern Cross, and Venus was so bright that it formed a silvery path in the lake. Venus was in Scorpius - upside down. Above Scorpius, innumerable new stars. And this brings me to my problem. Since I have my laptop with me for offloading and editing photographs as I go, I brought along the copy of Sky Map Pro that I have been using for years. Now that the sky is filled with stars I have never seen before, I want to be able to identify them. So I haul my ThinkPad out to the lake, start up Sky Map Pro - and all I get is a "This program is not registered" screen. Since I bought this copy some time ago, some file must have gotten corrupted that controls licensing. Those stars will have to remain unidentified until I get back. I'm never going to use Sky Map Pro again. People on this list seem to like Starry Nights. Has anyone ever had a problem with disappearing registrations with their program? I don't want to have this kind of thing happen again. Alan Gore -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
