Free messier software for pda

The Ultimate Messier Object Log (TUMOL) is a database that contains relevant information for all 110 Messier objects. It contains various layouts to assist amateur astronomers in documenting their search for deep sky objects. Adapted to Handbase from David Paul Greens database using images from SEDS with permission. Interestingly the adapted 1-bit images look much more like what you see in the eyepiece than the glorious color photos that I adapted them from.

This is the latest release of our FREE open source astronomical ephemeris.
