As an amateur astronomer, this wonderful Stellarium program was very useful to me.
I remember this from like a year ago, such a awesome piece of software! Ever thought of incorperating this into google earth? Just a thought...
Well this is awesome.
Is it possible to view the sky from coordinates in Australia?
I live in the light polluted suburbs of Melbourne but I occasionally get to go into rural areas; I just think it would be cool if I went camping and I could be a smartass in front of my friends when I've already memorized star constellations.
F6 key to set up coordinates. :-)
have this one on my pc :) cool stuff.
