That's the way it goes!

Just another 3D object - once you have those, it's easy.

There is a guy (Curt Olson) who has written a 3D sky model for SSG - and which I
hope we'll release in a future SSG release.  It has sun, moon and stars and
can be set to any time of day, etc, etc.  The positions of the sun, moon and
stars are astronomically correct - you even get eclipses and so on.

Anyway, it's not ready *yet* but I'm assuming it's going to be there soon.
