Richard, this sounds like it'd be an ideal tool for reducing my meteor 
observations, since I travel a lot to find OK skies to observe under.
Does the CD you have give accuracy down to the seconds of lat/long?
And how about elevations? (That would be REALLY amazing.)

Last but not least, where'd you get the CD so cheap, and who makes it?

Thanks!
