what game is this? :-?

Celestia

It's an accurate(ish) 3D representation of our galaxy....and it's free!

Hmm, that looks like a lot of fun, and the visuals are great. How much HD space does it require?

The best astronomy program I have found is Starry Night Pro.  It's a bit expensive, but you can set it up to run any telescope and it has a nice little feature where you can choose any combination of telescope and eyepiece, binoculars, viewfinder, etc and have it place that field of view on screen.  It also prints star charts for any time in history or the future, and you can zoom to any point in the galaxy and look at any other point in the galaxy.  Not for a rank amateur, but for advanced beginners and up, it's a valuable tool.

BTW, Mitch, love your banner...  ;)
