Nice

I have been a redshift user sense version 1. I have enjoyed and loved the abillities of redshift. Being in a family full of ham radio operators. Knowing longitude, and latitude coordinates is just second hand. I do know that the database, for cities, stars, nebulas, and deep sky objects is quite vast. The universe is a great void, and our little corners is only a shoe box. How ever this is the first version of it that i owned on a mac. So i am not expecting much. For all of the smart phone users who can not find their location in the database, just look it up on that. I guess to keep it compact for download, they left several features out. Even the windows version that came with a cd, had most of the databases for it. still to have everything it still needed to connect to its server to download the rest of its database. I am hoping that it will be as good for the mac, like it is for the windows version. Nice to see that they piped a version for the mac. If they were to add a download feature to this version like the windows version, itll fix 95% of the problems that the user is having. The windows version updated its database at least once a month, to keep the program updated. This version is a stripped down version of the full blown version. Says itll do RA/Dec. though when selected, it doesnt display em, the only view i got is the path of the planets.
