Astronomy Buffs: Stellarium

This application is freakin sweet. There have been a lot of sky trackers in the past, but this one is free and very well made.

You can choose your timezone, or just fast-forward your time, or reverse (whatever you want). You can toggle the ground, atmosphere, constellations, nebulas, constellations, etc...

You can zoom, pan, tilt... all that. It is a great tool if you are wanting to learn about the sky, or if you want to put this on a laptop while you are out star gazing.

You can edit the .INI file to setup different modes (non-fullscreen, different resolution, and a bunch more stuff)

Have fun!
