G'day astrofolk

Anyone know of any good free planetarium software you can download from the ol' dubbya-dubbya-dubbya????

I'd really like something that includes the positions of planets and fuzzies.

Cheers :drink:

There are many free ones out there, but the general consensus is that CDC is the best, even if its interface isnt the prettiest. Takes a bit of time setting it up.
