RealSky CD

Imagine having a complete sky atlas at your fingertips in a unique 8 or 10 set CD-ROM package, that's not a typical sky map, but a unique photographic sky atlas. Now you have the entire digitized sky survey of the famous Palomar Observatory Sky Survey of the early 1950's. The first set in the series covers the northern sky from pole to -15 degrees. The second series, developed by the Royal Observatory of Edinburgh, covers the entire southern sky on 10 CD-ROM's. "Dr.Sky" feels that this is one of the most impressive set of sky photos that you will find anywhere for the price. You can use the easy to view star photos to help confirm a new comet discovery or novae search. This is a "must" have for the serious student of the sky.

Can you imagine that only a decade or so ago, this powerful tool was only available to the observatory astronomer, but you can get yours today by calling the Astronomical Society of the Pacific at 1-800-335-2624. You can order the Northern Sky on 8 CD-ROM'S (SK 106) $250. The Southern Sky on 10 CD-ROM'S (SK 108) $ 250. Or you can order both sets by calling and requesting the "Dr.Sky" special package price of $450 (SK-110), that's a $50 dollar savings on the set! Please check out www.aspsky.org for a complete product listing or to request a catalog, email catalog@aspsky.org. "Dr.Sky" likes this easy to use package that will provide hours of results as well as lots of pure FUN!
