stellarium

I've just down loaded Stellarium and have been chatting to Sarah Rusholme who's the Director of the Carter Observatory here in Wellington, She was a huge help saved me probably several months work! she pointed me in the direction of Paul Bourke (from Swinbourne, yay for melbourne!) He's posted a few times on 'Small Planetariums' .
Paul has also written this and included some great images such as this one...
