Upgrading to Guide 8.0

For information about what Guide 8 can do, check this page.

Anyone who has purchased a copy of Guide in the past can upgrade to Guide 8.0 for US $30 (includes shipping/handling anywhere in the world). It does not matter which version you ordered; you could, in theory, upgrade from Guide 1.0 to Guide 8.0 for $30.

Payment can be by MasterCard, VISA, cash, check drawn on a US bank, or money order. Once it is actually shipped, you will get a short note by e-mail.

Order form: Unfortunately, there is no secure order form set up. You can order via e-mail, fax, telephone, or postal mail. The upgrade offer gives the contact data.

What to do with the old disk: I try to discourage people from passing older disks on to their friends and neighbors. If you insist on doing so, please at least show them Guide 8 so they may be persuaded they need to buy their own copy of the current software.

I would ask, though, that you pass the older disk and manual on to a school or astronomy club or similar non-profit organization. Schools generally have absurdly tight budgets, and you may help to indoctrinate the next generation of astronomers. Or at least the next generation of Guide customers.

Other questions: I tried to cover all possible questions about the upgrade in this page and the pages linked to it, but if you come up with a question or two that I missed, please e-mail me.
