To maximize the full potential of SkyMate Pro, the user should have a working knowledge and proficiency in the terminology and skills of celestial navigation.

Version 1.03 of SkyMate Pro fixed a bug that affected calculations to various almanac calculations on PC systems set to various International Settings in Windows. These almanac functions conflicted with the International/Regional Date Settings in Windows which caused the program to crash or calculate improperly. If you are still using an early version you should download the latest version.
