CCDSoft is a Microsoft Windows-based CCD camera control, data reduction, image processing and astronomical research application for amateur and professional astronomers. Additionally, CCDSoft integrates with TheSky6 Professional Edition for the ultimate in hands-on or automated telescope, CCD camera, and observatory device control (such as the SBIG AO-7, motorized focusers, filter wheels, and video cameras).

The Faraday Flashlight:
Uses no batteries or bulbs. Instead it uses your energy and induction to produce a bright light using efficient LED technology. Just shake the light for about 30 seconds and the Faraday Flashlight will provide about 5 minutes of light. During prolonged use it can be shaken for 10-15 seconds every 2 or 3 minutes giving you an unlimited supply of light.

The Sky 6 - Student Edition (from Software Bisque). The Sky Student Edition is for the budding or student astronomer. It is easy to use, yet contains a powerful set of features to help learn about the fascinating field of astronomy.
