Some notes on the demonstration version: * Some screens have been partially disabled but some settings on those screens can be changed so users can get an idea of how the screens work. * Some functions have been disabled (e.g. printing) * The date in the demo is fixed (!?!) at April 20, 2005 and cannot be changed. * Screens that display ephemeris type information will only show data between January and June 2005 * The resolution of the maps on the atlas (Lunar Explorer) screen are low-res only and cannot be changed * Only a representative sample of features from the database are included, but these will let users try out the feature labelling and feature identification functions * A selection of eyepiece and telescope combinations are provided to try out the emulation of the view of the Moon through those combinations (new combinations cannot be added) * Aside from that, users can play around with the software to see what it's capable of. * The full manual is included in the download
