That isn't half bad. Gez. Potential there alright!

[ving (David)]

the page opens up straight away to whatever your pc's time is and i am guessing it picks your location via IP or something?

[rogerg (Roger)]

Does it know your location? I'm not sure it does, it's just showing a night sky view all sphere around, there's no horizon that I've seen, which would be the only reason you need location.

[ving (David)]

nope, my mistake... but if you click onteh time icon you can put your location in...
i think it assumes US or something otherwise.

wow. I can see why you'd like it, Roger, it would make identifying galaxies in images a lot easier. Certainly has potential!

Yes and no... yes because it looks fun and interesting.. .but it doesn't have the quantity of galaxies in it I need. They seem to stop pretty sharp when zooming in, much more are present in TheSky on my PC, but even there I don't have enough ....

Great find Ving, thanks.
It is a well developed and amazing site.

Cheers
