One thing I will mention. I share Larry Smith's enthusiasm for
"Starry Night". If he owns the top of the line version (Starry
Night Pro) he will find hours of entertainment and learning in
playing with it, an experience which should entice many students
to do the same. Starry Night (Backyard or Pro version) is cheap
at its price. It is the best self-motivating tool I can think of*
as an adjunct to an astronomy course in high school, but it should
be purchased in these much more appropriate forms. The textbook
version is a teaser designed to encourage purchase of the other
versions.
