Product Description:
Most amateur astronomers (myself included until recently) have little idea where the objects they observe are located relative to the Milky Way core and spiral arms. "Where Is M13?" displays the common Messier objects in their three dimensional locations within or around the Milky Way. It is designed to help us break out of our habitual way of perceiving the night sky as two dimensional.What's new in this version:

Pretty cool - Version: 1.02, 11/30/2005 08:05AM PST

Nifty little app. Runs fine on my 1.5GHz Powerbook and 1GHz iMac, both with 10.4.3. It nicely differentiates the position of older globular clusters versus younger open clusters. It would be really cool if you could bring up a photo of the Messier object by clicking on its symbol.

Here's a simple and effective app that does exactly what it says. According to the developer's site, a fuller-featured version is on the cards, and I shall be watching out for it with considerable interest.
NB — I originally had problems launching this handy little programme (damaged archive, apparently), but a swift and friendly response from the developer soon got me up and running.
