I’ve finally found an astronomy program that doesn’t suck and it’s called “Stellarium”:

• Wonderful interface, great appearance — great for teaching astronomy to kids
• You can turn the atmosphere, ground and haze/fog on or off
• Stellarium shows (or hides) constellation lines, regions and artwork, for Chinese, Egyptian, Western cultures and more
• Display what the equatorial-mount telescope sees, or use azimuth view for the pedestrian perspective from your location
• Click for info on any object; wheel mouse zooms in and out; lots of keyboard shortcuts to track items
• Easily simulate a meteor shower
• Lots, lots more…
• Stellarium is free (and hosted at sourceforge)
