Subject: Mac Grayliner 2.2.0
Mac Grayliner displays a map of the entire Earth, showing day, night, and
more importantly, the terminator between day and night. Studies have shown
that
enhanced radio propagation occurs between two points which are both on the
day/night terminator.
Now with version 2.1.1, the locations of active NCDXF/IARU beacons can be
displayed in real time, along with the beacon callsign, country, and
location. This should be helpful for identifying DX openings.
Mac Grayliner requires a Mac with a color display.
Shareware: $15

Subject: Moon Tool 1.0.1
I recently found to my surprise that the Info-Mac archive doesn't have a
copy of this wonderful program.
Please note that Richard Knuckey (richard@purplex.nacjack.gen.nz the
author of Moon Tool. I am merely submitting it to the archive.
A description of Moon Tool, from its About Box:
"This application displays the moon in its current phase along with
detailed information on the Moon�s phase cycle, subtends and distance
from the Earth. To display this information, your Macintosh needs to
have its time zone information set up correctly. This can be done using
the Map Control Panel."
Moon Tool is freeware. Enjoy!

Subject: Planet 8.1
PLANET 8.1 is an application in which your Macintosh computes the
coordinates of the planets visible to the naked eye (Mercury, Venus, Mars,
Jupiter and Saturn), the sun and the moon. The coordinates are given in
different coordinate systems: the geocentric ecliptic and also the
equatorial and horizontal systems of the observer. Further you will see
the magnitude of the planets and the phase of the moon and also sidereal
time, mean solar time and the equation of time.
When a solar or lunar eclipse is possible you can also investigate the
eclipse from any place on earth. You can study heliacal risings and
settings of planets and stars and also conjunctions, planetary stations and
occultations. A special option in the program allows you to check the
visibility of the new and old moon crescent.Finally you can study the
transits of Mercury and Venus.
Included with PLANET is a small helper application, Mini Star Catalog,
containing a list of 410 bright and important stars. It is possible to
choose any star from the catalog and transfer it (one at a time) to PLANET
by drag and drop. Once the star is inside PLANET it will displayed by
coordinates updated for current precession and proper motion. Also it is
possible to study the heliacal rise and set of the star.
The program is freeware.

Planet Earth - have you ever wanted to see the Earth from space? Now you can see
what it looks like right on your desktop. Planet Earth displays a realtime
3-dimensional model of the Earth with the current cloud information downloaded
directly over the internet. Night and day shadows are updated continuously and
you can rotate it to view any spot on the Earth.
