Software Bisque, Inc. (formerly named Computer Assist Services) is a corporation based in Golden, Colorado USA that develops robotics telescope mounts and accessories, and publishes software used in astronomy.^[1] It was founded in 1984 by current president and CEO, Stephen M. Bisque.

History

Bisque initially developed and marketed custom financial software and also sold a DOS-based astronomy program named TheSky. At that time, the company was based in Bisque's home in Golden, Colorado.

In 1990, Bisque hired his brothers Thomas, Daniel and Matthew. Together they ported TheSky for DOS to Windows 3.0. In 1992, TheSky for Windows was released. The product has been under continuous development since it was first released in the early 1980s; the current version is known as TheSkyX.^[2]
