Autostar snd virtural moon map

I got this with my Meade infinity 80mm telescope  thevsiftware programs is called autostar and virtual moon map anyone heard of it? It looks interesting...

Would that be Autostar Suite?

If so, it's on a CD-ROM disc. And it's a halfway alright 'planetarium-program' that will show you the nightsky from your location - once you enter your information. It will have instructions included. The Virtual Moon is likely a tunable Moon-map to show you the names of various surface-features.

Tell me - do you have either of the following programs on your computer: Stellarium. Virtual Moon Atlas.

If you don't have these, I strongly suggest them to you - and they are both free. Stellarium is a vastly superior 'planetarium-program' that will show you a far deeper and more refined view of the nightsky than the Meade program. And the Virtual Moon Atlas is very well done indeed.

Let us know if you have these. If not - I (or someone) will gladly provide you with links & instructions.

PS - Here's a screenshot of my copy of Stellarium:
