Free planetarium software

G'day astrofolk

Anyone know of any good free planetarium software you can download from the ol' dubbya-dubbya-dubbya????

I'd really like something that includes the positions of planets and fuzzies.

Cheers

There are many free ones out there, but the general consensus is that CDC is the best, even if its interface isnt the prettiest. Takes a bit of time setting it up.

If you have a Mac or a Linux box: Xephem, Kstars, Xplns.
