Thank you, wanja! I have a few questions, if you don't mind.

1) typo transcribed from handwriting. thanks!

2) отыщите/отыскиваете : what is the difference, why is the first preferred?

3)I meant Выбeрите, not Выбирите, I did not mean to shave the heavens!
What is the difference between Выбeрите and Подберите? Also, what is the construction (verb form) you use for соответствующую?

4) "Перешлите" Is this the verb to use for "posting online?"

5) "Помотрите" = "Поcмотрите?" I should use perfective here? I thought about it, was not sure, thanks.

"Для полного направления, загружаете здесь" Does this make any sense in Russian? Yours is cleaner, but I'm curious if this would be understood?

Thanks again, and if you do not have time to answer, perhaps others will?

Отыщите is imperative, it's preffered here because all other verbs are imperative (выберите, посмотрите, etc.)

3)I meant Выбeрите, not Выбирите, I did not mean to shave the heavens!
What is the difference between Выбeрите and Подберите? Also, what is the construction (verb form) you use for соответствующую?

"Shave" is "выбрейте".
Выбирать - to choose, подбирать - to match, to choose a thing which to matches something (the charts, the rule, etc.). "Подбери мне обувь" (i.e. the shoes, that match your size, or your taste, or smth else).

4) "Перешлите" Is this the verb to use for "posting online?"

'Перешлите' from "посылать/слать". There are a lot of verbs from with this one with different prefixes (переслать, отослать, выслать, etc.), all they basically mean 'to send' (no matter online or not).

5) "Помотрите" = "Поcмотрите?" I should use perfective here? I thought about it, was not sure, thanks.

Yes, it's 'Поcмотрите'.

"Для полного направления, загружаете здесь" Does this make any sense in Russian? Yours is cleaner, but I'm curious if this would be understood?

Personally I can't understand that without looking at the original phrase. It looks like "For full destination download here".

Thanks, gRomoZeka, and wishing you and wanja peaceful, clear, starry nights !!

Yes, sometimes I cannot tell the difference, depending on the script size, etc. Thanks for catching it!

My Russian is no better, alas, but it's time for another Star Count: It is in Russian, too: Downloads - Great World Wide Star Count

We go to a state park nearby, where the city lights only frame the horizon. Starcount is world-wide, trying to track air and light pollution by seeing how many stars are visible at your location. Please contribute!
