TheSkyX Student Edition Review in S&T...

It's always truly exciting when one of our products reviewed in a major astronomy publication.   Sky & Telescope's April 2009 review of TheSkyX Student Edition is no exception.  Woo hoo!  If you have not done so, please check out the S&T Test Report section on pages 38-39. 

After reading the review, there's a few items I wanted to point out:

  • TheSkyX Student Edition accesses a database of over 25 million IP addresses to automatically turn your computer's IP address into a longitude and latitude.  Pretty cool stuff. 
  • TheSkyX Student Edition update addresses the "no automatic download of minor planet data" and the "minor interface bugs" items in the "Things We Don't Like" column.

Thank you S&T for considering TheSkyX Student Edition as "review worthy", and thank you Mr. Heafner for another positive software review!  (See the November, 2007 edition of S&T magazine for his Seeker review.)
