I'll third the call for osgEarth. It makes managing layers and different datasets much easier for most use cases. If you are using the full ASTER dataset, you are going to need to preprocess the data to get any form of useful interaction from it. Preprocessing the entire ASTER database will take weeks using either VPB or osgearth_package.
