Thought I'd share with you this free gem I know you will love to use. Whether you run windows, linux, mac you will want this. I have this on my windows xp machine and want you to understand they have older versions you can install. The latest 10.5 version runs a little slow on my xp 3.0 ghz cpu with 2 gigs ram and I may roll this version back to an earlier version which I had on my pc that worked flawlessly. I leave that choice up to you. Now here it tis.

Tks gigas! I got it. To bad I can't walk out side an see the stars. Just the bright ones and the planets. When I moved here it was country no lights Now I got light polution out the ying/yang. Including a par 3 golf course with (you guessed it) night lights. Though I am located on a flight path for the commercail stuff. They fly with thier landing lights on.
Sigh isn't progress wonderfull
I remain saddened by another lose.

I know what you mean davefair. It used to be total darkness here to, till they put up street lights and a school across the way. This program is still a good aid on those nights where you see a bright star and wonder what that is.
