Hi, Mike - you and me both! Jupiter 2 is brilliant, similar software for Saturn would be perfect.

Like this (with XPlanet rendering). The labels for Enceladus and Titan overlap.

Speaking of Stellarium, I'm struggling with the latest version - on-screen text (names, descriptions, etc), appears in gibberish characters as in the pic attached. Any helpful suggestions will be gratefully received.

Don't think you can sorry... It's a javascript program so you can only launch it in your browser.

Internet only required to download the program, once installed (or in the DOS program case unzipped to a folder) it stands alone needing no other bits and pieces.
