"Pete Glastonbury is a digital photographer extraordinaire!"
(Mike Pitts at the Inspiration in Astronomical Phenomenon Conference tour of Avebury, August 2003)

Many panoramics included on the CD Rom that have an astronomical feature can be viewed using the astronomy package Starry Night, a professional astronomy program that allows you to view the stars as they are now or as they were in the distant past from the center of  Stonehenge and it's Avenue and nearby Cursus.
Avebury viewpoints are from inside the northern inner circle with it's Cove, and the southern inner circle including views from both the avenue Coves.
Marden, Thornborough, Arbor low and Mayburgh Henges are included.
Stanton Drew and Castlerigg Stone Circles and various Long Barrows such as West Kennet and Stoney Littleton plus various views of Silbury Hill.
 This collection is constantly being added to with online updates.
Programs that can view these horizon panoramas are Starry night Enthusiast, Backyard, Pro and Pro Plus.
A trial of the program can be downloaded from  http://www.starrynight.com/digital_download.html
