That's how you get nasty infections in your dongle

OK, I have avoided all the nasty infections, my dongle is clean.

Enough double inuendo anyway ...

Found a rather cute astro app which puts a solar system clock on the screen with real planetary movement out to Jupiter. No ads or bugs with it so far. And FREE !!

Actually quite useful if were explainng to someone the planets positions.
Cool ..

Just had a look at that and went through the video. Looks damn good to me. Another one to seriously thaink about.

honestly it's not up there with catalogues .. but for me as a visual observer it does what I want. specially having telrad circles to star hop, and is cleaner than skeye (pro) and ss pro .. but not the full ngc (a select 2500) but it does have the Messier Caldwell and the hidden treasures list from the book. the PPM star catalogue with stars to 11th mag. Either way it's clean and usefull when combined with other apps.
