Very useful and beautiful! I sometimes use it to identify stars and planets in my photographs -- works perfectly :-)

Once you get everything tweaked "just so" this is really quite an excellent program. And the beauty part of it (other than the nice graphics) is that it is updated from time to time.

So a realistic simulator that is fully immersed in this world and forget about their problems. I advise everyone who wants to relax
