Product Description:

Stellarium is free GPL software which renders realistic skies in real time with openGL.

With Stellarium, you really see what you can see with your eyes, binoculars or a small telescope.

Stellarium is also used in planetariums.

What's new in this version:

The most important changes are the new redesigned GUI, an important performance and memory usage improvement, a faster start-up, as well as new features such as dynamic eye adaptation to bright objects, improved rendering, light pollution simulation or improved location selector. The source code was also massively cleaned and refactored. This version lacks two features from previous releases, namely the text user interface and the script engine which are being recoded for a later release. Because of this, the release is labeled "beta".

I've had no problems with this program -- and it is proving really spectacular here in North America in the winter -- the only time in the South that we can see the night sky clearly. The program hasn't 'hung' my system, 'though it takes a substantial amount of RAM. I wouldn't want to run this on a system with under 768 Mb installed.
