Thanks for the advice, Octane and bojan. I will look into these. I still can't work out why Stellarium crashes and burns on me - such a good program but it just freezes my laptop dead.

Bojan - I tried CdC and it seems to be more sky-charting than planetarium. Can you confirm?

The thing I love about these Planetarium programs is, while I'm learning the night sky, I can go "Oooh, that's a bright object there, and I was expecting Saturn to come up around 1am, is it Saturn?" and a quick glance at that spot in the sky on the simulation software will confirm. Love it!
