Stellar programs for HP Ipaq

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

Any recommendations for programs for a hp ipaq that will give me star positioning and observing lists (windows mobile OS i think) ?

Free - of course would be better

Hey Geoff lots of free stuff on this site, Star & Planet software. Telescope controllers, Simulators Sidereal clocks etc. as well as some other PDA related software, he provides information on the site if you have problems with runtimes. All really good quality. I run some of it on my Dell Axim PDA and now have just changed to a Ipaq so i will install on it ASAP

Astromist are currently beta testing there software for PDA users. If you find bugs and report them you can get a freebie later.

Make it crash and freeze repeatedly and report it.

If I were to buy one application for a PDA out there it would be Tachyon, miles ahead of the competition. The next in like is Astromist and Starcalc
