Nice programe for stargazers

[hes not well again]

I came across a program called Celestia which has proved to be quite usefull for me. Using it you can travel out of the solar system and turn round to view it from all angles. You can see small blobs of light which are the various dso's and their relationship to the Milky Way. It really gives me a good overview of where everything is. I have found it handy for seeing at a glance which planets are closest to Earth for observing and when they are on the oposite side of the solar system. Can be downloaded from FreewareFiles.com. I am just using it to see sunset on Mars

forgot to say its in the Home and Education section

I installed this on the computers at work for the kids. They love it.
