I'm trying to find out if there is any good astronomical software
available for the Amiga, either commercial or public domain.
Specifically, my astronomy club is thinking of putting an Amiga
1000 in a local observatory they run. We would like to use it
for sky catalogs and possibly even for control of our 16" telescope.

I know of software of this nature available for the IBM PC, but
unfortunately we have access only to an Amiga 1000 (the 2000s are
the ones with more potential for IBM-compatability, for you non-
Amigans).

I'd also be interested to find out if any other astronomical
organizations are using the Amiga for this sort of thing. Please
respond via e-mail.
