Thank you for trying out this program.
It has been written by members of Bedford Astronomical Society.
It predicts the positions of the six main satellites of Saturn.
The only information you need are the dates of Eastern Elongation
for each of the satellites. This is tabulated in the BAA Handbook
or the Astronomical Ephemeris. If you do not have access to these
publications, send me a stamped, addressed envelope and I will gladly
send you the dates for the current year.
The Eastern Elongation dates do not need to be updated each time you
use the program, although inaccuracies will obviously increase as the
time after the last dates also increases.
If you operate through windows, I have included an icon.
The program should be easy to use, but if you have difficulties, or
have suggestions for improvement, please contact me.

If you are a member of a local Astro Society, I would be grateful if you
could send me a copy of your newsletter.
Being involved in the publication of our own newsletter, I also have a
collection of cartoons and quizzes which have appeared in our newsletter
over a number of years. You are welcome to have copies if you send me
a large SAE.
Thanks, Dave.
