Hi all, I just wanted to report that I found a very nice astronomy program called "XEphem", which would make a worthy addition to SL's repositories, provided its licence isn't a show-stopper.
Although not GPL'd, it used to be in TUV's repos around version 5 pre-EL. It's open source and free for personal and educational use. Anyway, I was able to build it from source without a hitch (you'll probably need package openmotif-devel installed).
