EQ8 / HDX110 Auto Home:
This routine allows the user to engage the auto home
function in the EQ8/HDX110. It will set the mount to the hardware home indexes.
This is a rewrite of the EQ8Tools app written by Frank Lieu from
Skywatcher.
This routine is not intended for
unattended (remote) operation since there is a possibility that the mount could runaway and twist up your cables.

SDA2 Supernova Detector
Assistant Version 2:
SDA is a Windows application that
is designed to assist you in selecting galaxies that
might spawn supernovae.
The application uses the Rc3 catalog of
galaxies as the data source, which is included in the install
package. This application will work on Windows XP and Windows 7
( 32, 64 bit OS)
If you are into hunting Supernovae the
SDA program might be of interest to you.
Some of the features include:
-
Works off a database of over 23K galaxies using the
R3c data.
-
Uses algorithms that attempt to select the most
probable galaxies that may spawn a supernova
-
Like TonightSky it shows you which
galaxies are visible at your location, when.
-
Search by galaxy type.
-
Contains a database of Supernovae that you
can update from Dave Bishop's web site "Bright
Supernovae"

program check out the HELP
