Stellarium

I am sure many are quite familiar with it, but I am also aware that many aren't.

So, for those who'd like to know more about the sky over their heads, here's a wonderful application:

That's ORG - not COM.
(And I am not associated to either.)

Excellent software. I've been using it for a while now. It helped me find Comet 17P/Holmes by locating Perseus in my night sky for me.

Been using it lately too, very good for finding out position of objects, and for finding out about objects you never knew about, like small planets or moons or whatever they want to call them in our solar system.

Just bumping, because I find that not nearly enough people know about it...
(And it's free of charge anyway, so this doesn't constitute spam. :-)

Summer brings out the stargazers... and they are often in doubt as to what exactly they see.

Download this magnificent application.
You won't be sorry.
(It's free of charge - and/or spyware.)
