.
One minor thing orrery has going for it is that it was originally written for Openmoko Freerunner phones, which have about 1/20 (really!) of the processing power of an N900. So I had to work hard to make the calculations run efficiently, or else it would have been unusable on a Freerunner. On an N900, it is quite responsive.
It still needs a lot of "hildonizing" to fit in well with other Maemo 5 apps.
Documentation for the program can be found here:

Thanks again!
