OK, guys, sorry that Mephemeris is not exactly what some people are looking for re: an astronomy app for Maemo, but in the meantime I decided to add a few more features to it:

2009/03/20 = version 1.12
- add new 'ini' file options for sources of asteroid, comet, and NEO data
- add options to plot asteroids, comets, and NEOs on both sky and solar system plots
- add menu and initial options, such as 'quit' and 'help'
- add options to edit/save 'ini' file settings
- add options to edit/save 'messier' image URL file settings
- add options to edit/save 'misc' image URL file settings
- add search options for all appropriate object types
- add better proportional planet sizes during extreme zooming
- add realistic shading, tilt, gridding, and info to the 'Moon Phase' window
- fix bug in object size not affecting some object types
- fix bug (!) of program ending when date/time direct setting is done

Some of these features were indirectly requested in the past. The new menu/table features were skills I picked up while writing 'MGedcom'. As before, a lot of these were not easy, and a lot of hair-pulling occurred in the process

I have to remind everyone that this app is cross-functional on the desktop as well on the N8xx -- but it sure runs a lot faster and looks a lot nicer on the 'big screen' -- especially in 'fullscreen' window mode, since there is a lot more 'elbow room'.

The newest version is about 25% larger than the old one.

The website for it, as always, is here:

I made new 'screen shots', which can now be clicked for a real-size appearance.

Let me know if you try the new version, and whether it works out OK for you!
