I've used a few programs like StarryNight, Red Shift, K-Stars and the like, but Stellarium is definitely the best astronomy package I've ever used.
The realism of Stellarium is what helps me locate new objects, I can't find using the charts out of magazines. With the help of Stellarium, I had no problem locating the M31 Andromeda Galaxy for the first time. The graphics are superb. I also love the zoom facility, showing photo images.
My only grumble is that I really need to get a bigger monitor, as my 17" Apple display doesn't do the program much justice.
Thanks again Barry
Pete
