Thanks for your help. I finally downloaded the entire education package, which included KStars. All goes well. Seems a good program although I think Stellarium as just a planetarium is better. Certainly has better imaging of objects, e.g. Saturn in Kstars is just a static picture whereas in Stellarium, one can actually see the changes in spatial attitude including the positioning of the moons, as the years are changed. But the ability to list what's visible, planning etc. is excellent. Need more exploring. Certainly seems to be a useful program. I'd compare it more closely to Astroplanner which is excellent software and uses charts similar to Cartes du Ciel.
