Cool site! I haven't explored it all yet, but the online planetarium is kinda cool and there does appear to be a plethora of links to software etc. And the Astronomer Finder Map is way cool, but difficult to hone in on any one person. It turns out that I'm On This Already! I'm only a very crude amateur astronomer by comparison but Hey, what the heck, eh? I must have registered myself as Doc for another forum somewhere - Jeez, I gotta start taking my memory pills more regularly!

I downloaded the model rocket design software for a kick since I used to do a lot of model rocketry in my late teens and early 20's and back then you had to go by guess and by gosh and instinct when designing and building your own rocket from scratch with just household materials - I used to get a big kick out of this when my so-designed and made rocket actually flew!

Thanks for the link, dmill1220!!

Your Very welcome Blue Fire!
Interesting that your into Rockets.
I am too, I have a whole spare bedroom full of them my biggest one is 6ft tall!
I also build RC Airplanes from scratch and fly those too! at present I own 4 of them, My poor wife thinks that our house looks like some kind of Aerospace and Astronomy exhibit! LOL!
I have found alot of free programs in that site just check then out carefully some have an expiration date on them but a lot of them don't
I always check the homepage link first before I download them. I have never had a problem with any of the programs listed in there.
the gentlemen running this site is pretty good about that!
