    That is very cool! I spent a little time playing with it and finding my way around. It definitely is resource-intense! But it downloaded and installed a lot faster than it warned.

    I did a few of the tours and then did some exploring on my own. Changed the viewing location to my lat/long and set the clock to my realtime, but I haven't yet figured out if I can get a realtime live view of my horizon.

    I'm not prepared to hook it up to my telescope just yet, but would love to hear feedback from anyone who does try it.

    Thanks for posting the link!
