ezSkyView
version 2.1
8/24/2011

ezSkyView provides an easier user interface for NASA's SkyView Query Form, to create images of astronomical objects or specific portions of the sky. This allows the astrophotographer to quickly see how an intended target will look on his computer screen and imaging CCD. Another use is for creating images to include in your planetarium program, such as TheSky6.

To install, just download and unzip ezskyvu.zip into your desired folder and create a shortcut for ezSkyVu.exe.
