Ha!

I would love to write, or port, something as beautiful as Celestia or Stellarium. My own efforts are *much* humbler at this point -- right now I only intend to write a text-based 'ephemeris' style program giving date/time/coordinate values. To make it a bit more flexible, I intend to also allow the reading of position/time from a bluetooth GPS.

My wish is that someone would either develop 'Stars' on Maemo further than it already has been, or to port 'Xephem' to Maemo. Since XEPhem uses the same routines as PyEphem does, it is (perhaps) a bit more realistic.

When I see all the *beautiful* graphically-oriented applications that others have written for Maemo, I become jealous, annoyed, and depressed
