C O E L I (tm) ------------- STELLA 2000 -------------------- R E G I S T R A T I O N ------------------------- After your 30-day evaluation period, you are legally required to register Stella if you decide to continue using it. There are many benefits, not the least of which will be a sensation of warm altruism accompanied by a clear conscience. The shareware release currently under evaluation is similar in most respects to the registered version. What sets fully registered copies apart is: 1) Customization to your precise location and preferences 2) complete absence of reminders, delays, and restrictions 3) the capacity to load the entire first-level database of over 15000 stars 4) SAO / Hipparcos data extensions (up to 300000 stars) 5) added comets and star names 6) Time-advance animations (sidereal) 7) Sky dynamically reflecting moonlight and sunlight levels 8) The complete Messier Catalog in ImageIcons 9) Precession of the equinoxes 10) Lifetime support by mail or e-mail 11) *free* Stella 2000 updates by request for the entire lifetime of the product 12) Automatic eligibility for special offers and add-ons In return for your registration* Swimming Elk Software will send you a personal (dedicated) copy of the latest version of Stella pre-programmed with your name, home location and startup preferences. You may contact us by post or E-mail at any time after registration with any problem or query concerning the inner workings of Stella. Swimming Elk Software welcomes pre-registration enquiries, even if their sole motive is to confirm to yourself that we actually exist. A simple postcard or e-mail with your name and address and a reference to Stella 2000 will suffice to get you a reassuring reply. We undertake to answer ALL Stella-related correspondence, whether it concerns registration or not. Summary of Payment Methods -------------------------- Briefly, the following types of order are accepted. Please see next section for details. Non-sterling equivalents are given in U.S. dollars. METHOD TOTAL COST 1A) Sterling currency (cash) 25 pounds UK 1B) Sterling cheque (personal or banker's) 25 pounds UK 2A) Non-sterling currency (cash) $45 U.S. 2B) Non-sterling banker's check/draft $45 U.S. 2C) Non-sterling personal/business check $45 U.S. 3A) International Money Order $45 U.S. 4A) 200 Suomen markkaa (Finnish marks) - ks. alla 200 Fmk 5A) Credit card order $49 U.S. Payment Alternatives ---------------------- * Stella costs a basic 25 pounds sterling or US$45. Payment might be in the form of a sterling cheque drawn on a UK bank (made out to R.Hughes), any major credit card, International Money Order, even a personal check or cash at the present exchange rate in your own hard currency. Regrettably, we must charge a handling fee if payment is in non-sterling currency, PERSONAL CHECK, or IMO, bringing the total to $45 U.S. at the current exchange in whatever tender you decide to send. We accept all hard currencies as payment. For orders by CREDIT CARD please add a further $4 (see below for details). This surcharge is necessary in order to cover the rather excessive cost of international wire transfers between our bank and our credit card agents, but it's by far the fastest way to obtain your registered copy of Coeli. Turnaround times are typically between 12 and 24 hours. You may order online or by phone/fax anytime and from anywhere in the world. A final alternative is 200 Finnish marks, to which handling need not be added if payment is in cash or any cheque drawn is on a Finnish bank. Ordering by check, Money Order, or hard currency ------------------------------------------------ To order by check, cash, or International Money Order, simply enclose your remittance for 25 GBP / $45 U.S. (or the latter's equivalent in your own hard currency), along with covering letter or registration form, and send it direct to Swimming Elk Software at Swimming Elk Software Manskiventie 1031 16790 Manskivi Finland Order by CREDIT CARD via ShareIt -------------------------------- ShareIt! takes worldwide orders for Stella online by Visa, MasterCard, EuroCard, American Express, or Diners Club.
