IceAthena Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 This Stellarium star atlas is great!! :hello1: I can just click search and find the star constellation I want to see and get a more detailed info about it. It's also very user friendly. Stellarium rocks for newbies like myself :mrgreen: Cheers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
