NexStarCruiser is software for the Pocket PC which controls a wide range of Celestron NexStar telescopes via a serial port on the Pocket PC. Note that the Beta version is documented by a help file, but Please use at your OWN RISK. The author assumes that the user is well familiar with the use of PocketPCs and general computer control of her/his Celestron NexStar telescope.

Boenkyo Telescope performance simulator is software which simulates estimated performance of telescopes. A telescope can be selected from a list of over 100 as can an eyepiece be picked from a list of over 200, or input manually. Upon this selection, Boenkyo will show how a scope would perform under ideal (theoretical) conditions.

It will also show the field of view with a given eyepiece and magnification plotted against popular deepsky objects and solar system bodies. Select a webcam replacing the eyepiece and check it out as well.
