Celebrating Twenty Years of TheSky Astronomy Software!

In 1984, Steve Bisque designed and placed the first advertisement for TheSky Astronomy Software (formerly named The_Sky) in Sky&Telescope Magazine. The ad appeared in the September issue, on page 255.

At the time, his company was named "Computer Assist Services." Six years later, Steve changed his company's name to Software Bisque...and the rest is history!

Software Bisque has been providing astronomy software since 1984 (astronomy hardware since 1989)! Here is a look at many of our advertisements, past and present.
