LunarPhase Pro V2.20 Released

LunarPhase Pro V2.20 is finally here. I didn't get as many changes in as I wanted but, rather than waiting longer to release a new version, I've put this one out.

Please note that this upgrade is for Version 2 users only. Just click the Check for Upgrade button on the About screen in LunarPhase Pro.

If you're a V1.xx user, you can download the V1.78 upgrade from the LunarPhase Pro Support page. If you'd like to upgrade to Version 2, you can also urder the upgrade at this page.

If you're not familiar with LunarPhase Pro, you can read about its capabilities at http://www.lunarphasepro.com, reviews at http://www.lunarphasepro.com/Reviews.html and user testimonials at: http://www.lunarphasepro.com/Testimonials.html
A detailed software spec. can be seen at: http://www.lunarphasepro.com/page2.html (although this hasn't yet been updated to include the new V2.20 features).

Here's the changes in V2.20:

• Added a new Meteor Showers screen which shows when the Moon interferes with possible observations of those showers.
• Added a new Sun Rise & Set Positions screen which shows the compass directions for the rising and setting Sun for the selected date.
• The Moon's correct orientation as seen in the sky (it's parallactic angle) can now be displayed on LunarPhase Pro's main screen (but not on the Lunar Explorer screen). This option can be turned on or off on the Configuration screen.
• A print facility has been added to the Crescent Moon Visibility screen.
• The constellation the Moon is in for the selected time and date is now displayed on the clock bar on the main screen.
• Modified the Telescope/Eyepiece Combinations screen to record eyepiece diameters with fractional values (e.g. 6.4 mm). The screen now shows calculated magnifications and Fields of View (FOV) to one decimal place. This provides greater accuracy for emulating eyepiece views on the Lunar Explorer screen.
• Added Previous and Next buttons to the "Did You Know?" popup screen to allow navigation through the various facts. Pressing the ENTER or ESC keys will now close the screen down.
  

More to come in future releases!

I'd like ot try building a central library of images (in the files section of the Yahoo Users Group) that everyone can have access to and add into LunarPhase Pro. If you have any photos or CCD images you've taken, maybe you'd upload them? I'll add a couple of images myself over the next couple of days.
