This week on the InternetLOCAL content developers are leading the pack with a host of new developments which are innovative in the truest sense of the word.
The Aloe Ridge Hotel launched its private observatory this weekend, complete with 16-inch telescope, CCD camera, autoguider and advanced image-processing software. Apart from offering the opportunity to literally dine with the stars, the hotel's website (still under development) will offer users around the globe a chance to join in. Not only will users be able to eavesdrop in real time on the evening's viewing, but, for a fee, they will be able to book time on the telescope and use the web interface to log in, take control of the observatory system and examine objects visible in the southern hemisphere. Not surprisingly, the telescope's accessibility via the web - a world first - has created a considerable stir in the world of amateur astronomers and academic researchers alike. Keep watching this space for the URL when the site becomes operational. On more down-to-earth matters, local businesses looking for software solutions and IT services can do it all from SASoftInfo's website (http://www.info-partners.com/sasoftinfo/ sasearch.htm). The full text search function allows users to specify software requirements and system specifications to get a short list of applications. But users should read syntax advice (http://www.info-partners.com/sasoftinfo/sahelp.htm) as it is not the most intuitive tool.
