Excellent small-footprint astronomical software! Very intuitive, and also handy at the telescope.

I installed this on my Tungsten T (PalmOS v5.0) and pressed the "target" icon in the title bar, and got the "Our Solar System" screen. Then the Palm froze completely, couldn't bring up a menu, go anywhere else in the AI application, or to any other application. Had to reset the device. :-(

It's very good and I hope next version it will be better.

Amazingly good. My only wish is that it would default to North at the top of the screen.

Downloaded, unzipped, loaded and installed without a problem. Functions flawlessly. Lots of readily available information. Excellent single point reference for the new astronomer.

ASTRO and LICENSE DOC files missing data in v2.5. Will not HotSync to Prism. Got files from v2.4.

I had to do a hard reset of Palm IIIxe after I tried to uninstall the program within Launcher III.
