893.0. "Looking for PC Multimedia (CD-ROM) Software" by ASDG::SHOER (Larry Shoer HLO2-3/L12 225-5098) Fri Mar 04 1994 12:55

     I am looking for a PC Multimedia (CD-ROM) title that displays the
     night sky for any user selectable date and location.  It
     supposedly also includes fly-by satellite photographs of various
     planets.  The title is "Red Shift," but I have been told that a
     CD-ROM named "Distant Suns" also does the same thing.  I looked in
     the SPACE and ASTRONOMY Notes Conferences but could not find
     reference to this software or anything similar.
                                                              
     Does anyone have familiarity with this type of software (comments,
     reviews, source, etc.)?
     
     Thanks.

Try NOTED::IBMPC-94.  In particular, take a look at the note titled something
like "Good deals, specials, " or somethign like that.  There is a price list
from a company called CD-ROM access.  They might have it, and if they do not,
give them a call anyway.  They are quite helpful and may be able to find it for
you.

I recall seeing these products advertised in some of the astronomy magazines,
notably Sky & Telescope.
