"I would just like to thank you for an excellent piece of software
|
|
[3.7.6], and such good service. I really can recommend anyone who is
|
|
running the free version to buy the full one. I think it's the best
|
|
possible program for observers, not as slick as others but with far
|
|
greater depths. Excellent!" J.F.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"Love it [3.7.4] and rely on it." C.M.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"Your program (3.7.5-RC11) is really nice; I tried it out and found, it makes good ephemeris tables,
|
|
has flexible timepoints (even moonrise/moonset) and explains very good how
|
|
the numbers (angles, times...) are defined."
|
|
M.F.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"Thanks for such a great product [3.7.4]! There are other good astro tools out there for
|
|
linux, but I really appreciate a lot of the functions that XEphem supplies. I love it!
|
|
I've been using Xephem for a number of years now." C.F.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"Xephem [3.7.4]... the greatest sky program ever written. Thank you so so
|
|
much." D.H.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I love this product [3.7.4]. I'm a graduate student in Astronomy and
|
|
use it both in planning for, and during my hosted public observing
|
|
sessions, my research observing sessions and my personal amateur sessions.
|
|
There's nothing better. It's lightweight yet powerful, very configurable
|
|
and has an incredibly compact display considering all the information it
|
|
conveys." L.N.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"XEphem [3.7.3] is truly a great program. Thank you for it, and for the
|
|
good support." L.B.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I bought Xephem few years back and I never regret it. Product is nice,
|
|
stable, and full with features." I.M.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"Overall, a wonderful job and I hope to have a lot of fun with this
|
|
program [3.7.3]." M.T.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I have found xephem [3.7.2] very enjoyable. I find it accurate, flexible,
|
|
and easy to use. I have used many of its vast array of features." anon
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I like your program [3.7.2] and appreciate all the effort that went into
|
|
it. I am using it on Mac OS X Leopard. You are very kind to provide so
|
|
robust a program for such a low price!". C.M.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"Really enjoying this Xephem software [3.7.2], very powerful and full of
|
|
surprises. Just amazing to have this on the Linux system. As a ham radio
|
|
operator and backyard astronomer as well as earthquake precursor reseacher
|
|
I find this software to very helpful in a number of areas." M.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I've been using Xephem for a long, long time it seems. It's
|
|
always been a fantastic program and was probably one of the motivating
|
|
reasons for me to experiment with Linux back in '93." K.F.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I've been using Xephem for years for education, for public
|
|
nights, and for help. It is a terrific tool." C.C.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I have had hours of fun with xephem. Thanks again for a wonderful piece
|
|
of software." W.C.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I find XEphem [3.7.1] a bit addictive. I've been playing with it while I
|
|
should be doing other things! ;-)" R.L.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I have been using XEphem for a little under a month
|
|
now, and find it to be exceptional. It does more than I
|
|
will ever need. I was used to The Sky (had since it was
|
|
called EZ Cosmos) and recently Cartes Du Ciel.
|
|
I think that XEphem is as good, or better than those
|
|
hands down. (considering all that it does)" A.M.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"... XEphem [3.7] ... is really an excellent piece of software. Thank you
|
|
for doing this outstanding work!" F.J.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I tried many other planetarium software, but this [3.7] is by far the
|
|
best. I look forward to use it with my telescope after my CCD camera is
|
|
build (Audine). Thanks for this excelent software." I.M.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I bought XEpehem 3.7 for MacOS X and love it." F.G.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I must say XEphem [3.7] looks way cool on my iMac G5's 20 inch screen :)"
|
|
R.B.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I love the software [3.7]. It's my primary tool for running my LX200
|
|
classic." J.B.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I managed to install it [3.7] just fine on OS X 10.3.9, and I ran it...
|
|
and I'm impressed! It's faaaaaaantastic!" A.D.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"Keep up the good work, I've tried nearly all
|
|
astronomy software in the last four years (some
|
|
commercial, mostly freeware) they all do the job okay
|
|
but none of them are as fascinating as XEphem [3.6],
|
|
honestly. I love the rendering of the sky view, it looks real
|
|
without excess. Excellent help file also." M.J.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I like XEphem very much. I have previously used starry night, which
|
|
looks nice but have found it unsatisfying to use (I'm not quite sure
|
|
why). XEphem certainly has a steeper learning curve but I am
|
|
discovering that everything I need is there. It works very nicely." R.A.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I'm so impressed that you have taken the software [3.6] in this
|
|
direction. I'm especially pleased that I will now be able to stop using
|
|
windows and only use my solaris machines to control my LX200s." L.R.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"The collection of data and other files really "makes"
|
|
the product [3.6] and it's installation a snap. I compiled the source,
|
|
looked at the product, and then downloaded the commercial version. The
|
|
commercial version was a long download, but, it was really easy to
|
|
install. Before this, I worked with the main Windoze astronomy
|
|
products, believe me Xephem is a bargain for the price." D.H.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I have used XEphem since version 3.4 and I'm still here [3.6],
|
|
thank's for producing a great piece of software." C.I.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"The added and improved features from 3.5.2 [to 3.6.4] are outstanding. I
|
|
was surprised to see that the Sky View even _looked_ prettier (I never
|
|
thought it looked bad, but somehow it's eyecandier now)." G.B.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"Whow! The improvement from XEphem 3.5 to 3.6 has really impressed me.
|
|
Please, continue the development of this wonderfull software. XEphem is
|
|
my favorite planetary program. But to me, the most convincing feature are
|
|
its elaborate plotting routines." V.H.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"First and foremost, this program far exceeds what I ever expected to
|
|
find. Every time I would think that I'd just about covered it all, I'd
|
|
find a new feature. (The manual is, after all, about 100 pages long.)
|
|
Thanks for such an awesome open source program!" J.N.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I've got to tell you that this [3.6] is one of the finest pieces of
|
|
software that I've ever encountered. I have several planetarium programs
|
|
(mostly windows versions, uggghhhh) and none of them are up to the calibre
|
|
of this one." M.A.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I downloaded [3.6] and built the executables for Linux [RedHat] Version 9.
|
|
Everything is working well and I am very excited about the package."
|
|
J.B.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I've had a look at the software over the weekend and am extremely
|
|
impressed. At least as good or better than the Windows software I've
|
|
been using so far." J.S.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"Received and installed XEphem version 3.6 on Mandrake 9.2. A
|
|
beautifully crafted piece of software." L.L.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"VERY impressed with the capabilities and depth of help you've created for
|
|
your program...not to mention ease of installation (iBook, OS X.1) and
|
|
stability. Way to go! Something that I use it for frequently is to solve
|
|
for plate constants in my CCD images and insert the WCS keywords in my
|
|
FITS headers. For some reason, the Xephem routine seems to be more
|
|
successful in finding a solution than other applications I've tried." T.H.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I just received my XEphem disk today and have been playing with it all
|
|
afternoon. It is a superb piece of work. I'm amazed at how many
|
|
features it has, and that all of them are actually useful features! It
|
|
is a far better program than any of the others I have seen." D.J.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"Thank you for developing an awesome ephemeris/and real astronomy
|
|
program. The wealth of information keeps an amateur astronomer
|
|
like myself with a very valuable astronomical tool for all purposes."
|
|
J.R.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"Great software! Running under MacOS X." D.I.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"Thank you very much for this fantastic software!
|
|
I tried your XEphem 3.2 in a Eso-Midas distribution, and I was really
|
|
impressed! With the new distribution, 3.4, found in Suse Linux 7.2, my
|
|
good impression get even better." D.V.G.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I installed XEphem in my Linux machine. I found it great!! Really a nice
|
|
job." L.F.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I was looking for Astronomy software that was fully complete in
|
|
features that also would run on OS X. I did not want to beta test for
|
|
the companies that are developing their software in transition to OS
|
|
X .. and I've already been burned by RED Shift for the mac." P.M.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"Thanks for the help on the LX200 interface. You were exactly right when
|
|
you said that once it works it is a lot of fun!" M.M.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"Love the software, linux platform." S.B.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"Cool! Thanks for the prompt response. BTW, now that I
|
|
have the manual and know more about what the sucker can do I'm even more
|
|
impressed! Nice work!!" T.H.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>
|
|
"I am enjoying your program. It must be extremely satisfying to have
|
|
developed such a piece of work. Kudos to you." M.W.
