Distant Suns - The SETI at Home Version
"I'm really boggled - [Distant Suns] is beautiful... I am totally awed by what you've done!" - Arthur C. Clarke

In cooperation with the SETI@Home group, I am proud to offer a special version of my software, Distant Suns. Not only are you able to process SETI data, but now you can see exactly what part of the sky your data belongs to, and when it will be visible each night.
Distant Suns is an award winning leader in astronomy software for the PC (this download at present works only with Windows and NT).
To get your free copy of Distant Suns/The SETI version, click here for Windows, and here for the Macintosh version. The download is about 4.7 Megs in size. (The SETI@Home screensaver must be installed for this work!).
To use, simply extract and install the file in typical fashion (using a standard zip utility such as Winzip), start it up, and Distant Suns will immediately take you directly to "your place in the sky".
If Distant Suns 4 does all you want it to do, please enjoy it and share it with your friends and family. However you may purchase the most recent version, Distant Suns 6.0 with the Grand Tour-Pro screensaver, on CD for $49.95. To do so, click here.
