Another good one is HNSky (or 'Hallo Northern Sky'). It's free, and will run on just about any old piece of junk computer.

Then there's XEphem, for those who like things Linuxy/Unixy, although there is a Windows version also.

The huge and relatively expensive apps like Starry Night and TheSky are fine, but for me the freebies such as CdC, HNSky, Stellarium and XEphem are also the "besties".

Thanks Zaps, a few more for me to download including the Linux ones........
