There is a program you can download for free and that shows everything in our sky (in our galaxy). Very well made and real time positions !
You can download many other addons too...
Nice thing I have in my computer since about three years now !

You can download it HERE

Enjoy

It's been 5 days and nobody said BOO here???

anyone check out that celestia proggy??? it's quite neat!!!

I haven't gotten any add-ons but it is fun to play arround with when you speed up the time frame and have all the planets in view and see everything spinning!!!

Anyone find any plans for home made telescopes yet???
