This is awesome, probably the app I miss most on the N9. It's great to have a properly functional sky viewing app.

1. I notice location settings can only be set by searching. Would it possible to get it using GPS?
2. In the free look mode, when you search for an object, it doesn't do anything. Can you disable free look for, pan to the searched object, and then enable free look on say a screen tap? Alternately, put arrows on the sides of the screen to indicate which way to look to find the object?

Also, kudos on making it open source. Donated and thanks!
