Hi guys, as I seem to have found some amateur astronomers then perhaps someone could help.

I bought a Meade telescope years ago that came with a nice program called 'Starry Night" which allowed you to input your lat.long and then it would give you a live digital display of your night sky to use with your telescope.  Unfortunately it won't install on anything later than Windows XP.  (Great software even if it did allow you to track the "Mir" spacestation which gives you an idea of how old it was!)

I bought my daughter a new Meade for Xmas, but the software that came with it is nothing like Starry Night and is user-unfriendly and over complicated.

Does anyone know of something similar to StarryNight that runs on Windows 7?

@ Eliyahu,

Good advice.  I thought they had stopped making it, but I found a link.  Looks like there is a Win 7 version available for $50.  I'll get her that.

Thanks.
