[OT] Astro Program

[Gilles Gravier]

I use TheSky on my PocketPC... but it is commercial software... and 
comes with a price... And honestly, at least on my PocketPC, it's far 
from being as good as KStars.

Of course, also, I'm biased... my ultimate Astro software is Starry 
Night Pro... but only runs on Windows. I have to test it on the latest 
Crossover Office. :)
