Thanks. I use Starry Night and a simpler charting program
called Star Chart III, the latter for generating specific
area maps. Helpful, yes ... but there's really *nothing*
like being out under a dark sky. Sadly, for most folks that
light leaving the glare bombs in that (empty) parking lot
miles away a nanosecond ago keeps them from seeing even with
the naked eye the magnificence objects and stars in our own
Milky Way that left hundreds and thousands of light years
ago. 

By now, of course, everybody knows the drill:
