Software Cartes du Ciel

Just a quick warning about the software download from the link you gave for this software. There are 2 download links on the page at Cartes du Ciel.

The smaller download file has a trojan virus in it and should be downloaded at your own peril. The larger download seems to be virus free. I have downloaded it and will test it on my Laptop connected to ETX 105PE soon and see if its better than meades own software.


By the way for those using UBUNTU linux there is an excellent free prog included called KSTARS and this is the by far one of the best I have seen yet.

Cosmic
