As cool as this program is, I still managed to get it to crash within the first few minutes of having it open. I tried to zoom in on our sun to see the scale of our solar system. Eventually, the background goes black, and the program stops responding. I thought it would be really cool to see the scale and orientation of our solar system with respect to the rest of the galaxy.
In the sky view, I expected north to be up and south to be down, but it appears to be relative to our galaxy, which just felt counter-intuitive.
I also thought it would be cool to be able to see where the limit to visible space is.

This is the author.You are right that zooming in taht far does cause the application to become non-responsive. I've never even tried zooming that far since no detail is available at that scale. In the next release I will put a limit on how far in you may zoom.
Thanks for reporting this.
