Hi Rich:

I'm afraid you'll get yet another "so?" out of me. If you want to use the Sky
and Telescope interactive star charts, you'll have to allow the website to set
a cookie. If you don't want a cookie, don't use the star charts. There are
other sources of quick, all sky charts on the web. Skycharts.com is an
excellent one, and so is heavens-above.com.

Peace,
Rod Mollise
