Thanks for confirming correct installation from 'extras-devel' and ability to 'Save' by 'chmod'. Did you find old stuff 'left behind' in '/usr/lib/hildon-desktop' that you needed to clean up yourself? I would have guessed that the application manager would first 'delete' and then 're-install'...

I checked out the planet and star labels and my only suggestion is to up the magnitude on the stars that get names to make it a little less cluttered. It looks like all the stars shown are named so it may not be possible.

Right now, the names of *all* the 94 (?) built-in stars for the PyEphem library are being displayed. Without the ability to 'zoom' (like MEphemeris has), it is bound to get crowded. Are you suggesting some controls to limit magnitude -- or some hard cut-off value?

Anyway, this is a great applet that has a permanent spot on my NIT. Thanks for all your hard work!

Thanks for the feedback -- it helps to make the hair-pulling a bit more worth it

If you have other ideas that 'make sense' for an applet like this, please suggest them.
