UPPER HARMONICS:

Intrepid includes eight bodies that represent a multiple of the energy of each planet. Discovered by Jeffrey Sayer Close and unique to Intrepid, the upper harmonics provide a rich field for research and show strong potential for extremely accurate delineation and forecasting.

===================================

> Accuracy of NASA's JPL database via Swiss Ephemerides  -5400 to +5400
 (Asteroids and Planetary moons have shorter time frames)
> Delta-T Compensation
> Topocentric Capability
> All planetary calculations to the nearest hundredth of an arc-second
> All search functions accurate to within 1/100 of an arc-second
> All retrograde situations found in searches

===================================
 
EASE OF USE:

> Fully Integrated AstroCom Atlas, designed to minimize user error
