SGP and N.I.N.A - Astro Software on Windows

May 19, 2019

I'm back on Windows to play around with Sequence Generator Pro (http://mainsequencesoftware.com/) and NINA (https://nighttime-imaging.eu/) NINA stands for Nighttime Imagine 'n Astronomy.  I used SGP almost exclusively before moving to Ekos/KStars about two years ago. It's one of the most powerful astro apps on Windows, and I've always recommended it. I'm also going to be trying out the latest version of NINA, which just looks amazing. I can't wait to see where this app goes.
