Re: [OT] Astro Program

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. :)

KStars can be installed even without KDE desktop. It will trigger the
installation of the necessary underlying KDE libs, but will work
smoothly inside the GNOME desktop.

The Student Edition of Software Bisque's TheSky will be available for Linux in the next few months ...
The new version is dubbed TheSkyX (X for cross-platform) and will run on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux ...
The full version with telescope control for all 3 platforms is expected out by around the end of the year ....

The other suggestions already made are obviously worth checking, of course ...
