Hi Starcrazzy, No offence ever taken. If I was easily offended, I wouldn't dare ask such dumb questions!
FWIW, I actually did download the software you suggested when you first suggested it. I have been really grateful for your help (and of everyone's).
The stellarium program you suggested was an especially great suggestion for me (did I mention that there's a more up-to-date version if you go to the home page instead of the link on this site?)
My problem with the two pieces of software you mention is that I wasn't able to get anything out that looked really decent. I am almost certain that I wasn't using it correctly, and haven't had the chance (yet) to have a really good play around with it. It also didn't help that cartes duiel's help system is written in French - so if you can't see what to do, then you're in trouble.
I will persist (haven't given up on them!).
In fact, now that I have had a good look at the PDF star-charts (and know more about them), I reckon I'd have a much better chance at using the software properly.
BTW, I am a huge lover of free (legal) software and o/s's. And when I can't find what I need, I have the bad habit of writing my own!
