I remember having an astronomy program for the 64 that allowed me view
different galaxies, planets, stars, etc., using either a rocket ship or
a crosshair I believe.  You were able to enter your longitude and
latitude via a world map to have an accurate depiction of your sky.
Hovering over various objects would give you a more thorough
description of them.  If you changed your line of sight to look down at
your feet, I recall the word "skewing" to appear on the screen.  Anyone
have any idea what commercial software this was?  If so, any idea where
I can get a D64 image?  Thanks.

 	Sounds like Sky Travel.

That's it!  I just did a search on Lemon, it's Sky Travel definitely.
Other than Bard's Tale III, I don't think I spent so many hours in
front of my TV.  Thanks, I truly appreciate it.
