I received this e-mail from Meade last night. I downloaded the program
and it looks very interesting, but with my limited knowledge of the
night sky I figured I would let the experts review it.  I hope all is
well with your move to Arizona and that you enjoy your "retirement".

It will take me another 10 years to get to that point but already found
me a piece of property in the north Georgia mountains where the sky is
dark and the pace is slower...


Clear Skies,

Subject: Google Sky User's Group Launched on Yahoo!

Dear 4M Community Members,

Earlier this morning, the media announced to the world the launch of
Google Sky.

Google Sky is a feature of the Google Earth platform and uses the same
easy-to-use interface to search and zoom in on stars, planets, and deep
sky objects. The high-resolution imagery is supplied by Hubble. Click on
an object and Google Sky will produce lots of information about the
object.

Google Sky is sure to attract the interest of many people who are
interested in space and science, and if you are interested in Google
Sky, we invite you to join Google Sky on Yahoo at
tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/googlesky.

I have found myself mesmerized as I scan and zoom in to high resolution
imagery. To learn more about and download Google Sky, go to:

http://earth.google.com/sky/skyedu.html

Let us know what you think about Google Sky and how you are using it to
explore the universe.

Wishing you clear and steady skies,

Scott

Mike here: Thanks. Move still pending; have to sell home in California first.
I first saw the Google announcement mentioned on some Mac web sites that I monitor. I've been using Google Earth for some time and this new feature makes a nice add-on.
