hi Doug My default fully-featured free planetarium software is Stellarium http://www.stellarium.org/ It is very feature packed and you can whizz around the sky mouse driven no trouble (without learning the key board shortcuts)

From: Douglas Bateman Sent: Monday, January 16, 2012 4:58 PM To: sundial dial Subject: Star maps A little off topic, but I asking for suggestions for simple planetarium software that I can load or purchase for showing the night sky. The reason is a planned trip in mid February to Finland at 67 degrees north where I hope to see the aurora or at least a starry sky, clouds permitting. The target computer is a MacBook Air or an iPad. I look forward to many suggestions!, Regards, Doug --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
