Starry Night is also pretty useful and user-friendly, and there's a free trial version, if I remember correctly.

Starry Night Backyard is the "lite" version of the program. VERY useful for backyard astronomers. My dad bought Starry night PRO when we were really into astronomy, has so many features and its SO COOL lol. Very useful program if you ever find you have a mit of extra money.

We have very little lightpollution where I live, and on cloudless nights you get to see the milkyway.


We used to be able to. :(

About 5 years ago, all these people started moving here from New York City to get away and live in the country. With more and more houses comes more and more light. I live in a row of 7 houses that were built in 1974. Before, ooh, 1999, we were the only houses within 10 miles of anywhere. Now there's at least 150 "McMansions" we call them, and they insist on having their walkway lights on ALL NIGHT. >:( Some people have no courtesy..
