G'day Brent, I've got Stellarium in Ubuntu lucid lucy and am learning to use it. I also have Opensuse 11.2 and will download Kstars and get into that as well. The wonders of linux never fails to amaze me with it's infinite variations and ability to be adapted to whatever system you wants.
Thanks for the tips, I was having a bit of trouble with it, but now it's making more sense. I think one of my biggest problems is locating things in the sky and finding some planets to check the scope out better. As I'm looking west out of a window my view is rather limited and it's too cold to go outside this time of the year. My partner is very interested now she's seen the moon, we are discussing building a small observatry either on top of the workshops or above the aquaponics and cellar which is protected from the winds, but has an unbroken 360 view and on top if the hill. I also have an old laptop and will turn it into a linux astronomy system as I learn more.
Thanks again it's made it much easy for me now.
