1) In the next version, I believe that I have improved (but sadly not perfected) the ability of a sky region click to re-center properly.

Well, at this point I have been tweaking a few last-minute fixes/improvements to MEphemeris, but mostly I am awaiting help from the author of PyEphem on some potential bugs that I have found in the new 'satellite pass' prediction features that were recently added. These features are 'just in time' for me to add them to MEphemeris

Mephemeris is another cool app. Thank you for all your work.
I'm having mostly bad luck getting information from my shiny new bluetooth GPS. FWIW Maemo-mapper and MChronos both talk to it.
Pushing "Reset Location" has worked exactly once, out of dozens of attempts. It briefly turned green, I got the GPS Location icon in the status bar, and the lat and long numbers changed from the default values.
Usually what happens is a screen message "GPS location/time not used -- using internal settings instead". In the terminal window I get:
"GPS SEARCHING...PLEASE WAIT
On Maemo so trying bluetooth GPS...
Problem while connecting!
not found gps position= <default values>"
I'm so trying to understand why this is happening, when other applications work and play well with the bluetooth GPS.
The relevant section of the .ini file is:
gps mode= gpsbt
gps timeout= 15
gpsd host= 127.0.0.1
gpsd port= 2947
I was sure the default IP wouldn't work, so I changed it. I suspect the localhost IP would be a better default. (Perhaps you would also consider moving this file to the user directory with the proper ownership, as I suggested for MChronos.)
This is a nifty program; it would be niftier if it would update from the GPS.

All I can suggest is to insure that you have a good GPS lock *outside* of MEphemeris first, and then try the GPS thing

Its been a long time since I have posted in this Forum. I never did (and perhaps never will) jump from the N800 platform to the N900. With the new emphasis on 'Qt' rather than 'Gtk', I don't think my astronomy apps have a bright future on Nokia's tablets anymore
That being said, I continue to tweek and enhance some of my apps -- including Mephemeris.
- Does anyone here still use it?
- Anyone interested in any newer versions?
- Do my apps even work on the N900?

Hi
this app doesn't seem to appear in the Repos for the n900, so I have been unable to test, which is a shame, as it would be useful for me.

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d.../m/mephemeris/
(of course, you would also need the 'PyEphem' library as well)
I used to host my 'software' page on Google, but it looks like they have taken that feature away -- I will have to investigate this...EDIT: it was a bit tedious with Google's web page editor, but I have attempted to re-create my original 'software' page here:
https://sites.google.com/site/darethehair/home/software
Note that this contains slightly old versions of my stuff. No web site or repository yet contains my most recent version of Mephemeris (version 1.41 or so).
