As a general principle (to add «Reviews», «Resources» et cetera...) :
1) Register as a new user if you did not so before; 2) login with your username and the password you got by E-mail (you can change it in «My Account» after logging in for the first time) ; 3) in each section you will find an «add»/«write» link you must click (alternatively use the links in the «My Account» page); 4) just fill in the form that will appear and click the «Submit» button in the end.

Your text will appear online after being approved (most anything is provided it has minimum relevance); normally this will not take more than a few hours. Feel free to sign any submitted articles.

To «Add a download»:
1) Register as a new user if you did not so before; 2) login with your username and password (you will only be shown the «Add download» option after logging in) 3) go to the «Downloads» section; 4) click the «Add download» link (top center of the page).

To «Modify» a download already included:
1) Login with your username and password* (you will only be shown the «modify» option after logging in) 2) browse trough the «Download» categories to your program; 3) click your program «details» link; 4) click the «modify» link that will appear on the top center of the «details» page; 5) change what you wish and submit.
*IMPORTANT: For you to change a program your username must already be associated with the program's ID. This is done automatically if the program was first added by yourself, otherwise please ask me to associate your username with your program so you can modify it. Either send me an E-mail or message the «Admin» user after login.

To «Submit News»
1) Register as a new user if you did not so before; 2) login with your username and password; 3) click the «Submit News» link that appears on your «My Account» page; 4) fill in the form and submit.

The text which goes with each «Download» is shorter. It intends to be purely descriptive (to give you and idea of what a program does) whereas in «Reviews» you will find personal and more evaluative/comparative accounts of the use of a given piece of software.

Inside the «Downloads» section the title/name of each program links to the installation file. That's where you should click to get it.

Just click the thumbnail and a new window will open with an enlarged image.

The best way to search for a program is to use the specific search form within the «Downloads» section. In this case, just type your Language as it is written in English (the right way would be «Portuguese» and not «Português», «Spanish» and not «Español» et cetera...) and hit the «Search» button.

1) Read the answer to the first question above (to be able to add content); 2) (optionally) to be able to message the other users; to have your own space to write notes; to personalize the site’s appearance; 3) to help to create a community spirit and to be part of a group bonded by a common interest in Amateur Astronomy and astrosoft; 4) last but not the least, to let me know that you exist and that I am not wasting my time in vain while developing this site.

When you first register you receive a randomly generated password in the e-mail you provide. You may wish to change it to something you will remember more easily. To change your password follow these steps: 1) login; 2) go to the «my account page»; 3) click the «change your info» option; 4) in the bottom of the «Personal information» page you will see a «password» option with two fields. Type your new password there twice; 5) click the «save changes» button.

No. There's no catch at all. If you are not familiar with the license distribution terms read the «Freeware, Open Source Software, Shareware, Trialware... What do they mean?» article where they are briefly explained. All credit/merit goes to the software authors themselves. We are merely gathering information.

1) Register as a new user if you did not so before; 2) login with your username and password (you will only be shown the «Rate» option after logging in); 3) next to the program/site etc.... click the «Rate» link; choose a value for your evaluation; optionally leave a comment; 4) hit the submission button.
