We take another look at the Commodore 64 astronomy program Sky Travel, this time with the assistance of the 20 MHz CMD SuperCPU Accelerator. We examine the reasons for the 2 hour discrepancy between Sky Travel's depiction of the eclipse, and reality. It involves time zones and Daylight Saving Time. Other tangential topics include: JiffyDOS disk speed-up, 1541 disk drive "head knocking" copy protection. Then finally we go on a "round the world" easter egg hunt for many interesting "tokens" hidden in the Sky Travel program.
