SkyTools 3 System Requirements

SkyTools 3 is fully compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Vista (both 32 and 64 bit versions).  Also compatible with Windows XP/98/NT4/2000 or a Mac running a Windows emulator. 

Minimum system requirements: Pentium II 233, CD-ROM drive, a minimum screen resolution of 800x600.  Requires a minimum of approximately 20MB of hard disk space;  650 MB of hard drive space is required for full install (so the CD is not required).

Access to the Professional Edition extended star data requires a DVD-ROM drive plus 4.8 GB of hard drive space.

Recommended system: Pentium 4 or better with 512 MB of RAM, 650 MB of hard drive space is required for full install (so the CD is not required).

Real Time requirements: ASCOM 5, a freely available third party telescope control standard platform.  Note that ASCOM 5 regrettably no longer supports Windows 98 (or SE/ME).

Need to run SkyTools on a Mac?  Consider Parallels.  Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac lets you seamlessly run Windows and Mac OS X side-by-side.  Click for more Info.
