Re: Web-based Google Sky

I am quite amazed about how little exitement Google Sky has produced
on this forum. There were even nonsense arguments against it like "you
can´t use it in the field" (as if it were possible to store its
database in a laptop). Nonetheless, and admitting that it is not
(yet?) perfect, I am sure to not be the only reader here who flipped
on it. So in order to inform those who feel like me and avoid them
some possible confusion, I will finish up with my little monologue
here.

Talking about downloads, in the meantime I found out that the correct
answer would have been the following:

The stand alone version of Google Sky (SAGS, let´s say ) is only there
to wetten the appetite for the Google Earth client based version of
Google Sky (CBGS in what follows). CBGS lets you save images and enter
coordinates to go to, among other utilities. So if you seriously want
to use Google Sky, then the 7.36 MB of the CBGS client are well worth
downloading.
