Sky Charts
CDrom
There is now many options to get a copy of Sky Charts / Cartes du Ciel on CDrom.
I have not enough free time to do that myself, so I want to thank all the people that produce this CDrom.
Please note that the program is alway free, the price you have to pay for the CDrom is only to cover the prodution cost or for other elements include on the same cd.
As the program version available on this site is often modified you can find the necessary update files on this page.
This is a much smaller download than the full version.
