I use cartes du ciel for astronomy work-its the best piece of freeware I have found to date-it has iridflar incorporated so all you need to do is keep updating the tle data to plot iridium flares, I often copy the charts to show local flare positions on my website. For general astronomy work its extremely adaptable and has many features I would not expect from a freeware package, and it looks good as well On 20 Oct 2002 at 15:51, thomsona wrote: > I've been contemplating buying a copy of Starry Night and, researching > it, came across several recommendations for "Cartes du Ciel," which is > a freeware sky chart program.
