Excellent stuff - I'd never appreciated how local some of our more famous astronomical sites are - the Horsehead Nebula's huge!
Now, if only I had a telescope and didn't live in the city.

You guys should download it man, this is rad!

Are there any real astronomy geeks in here that could do me a favour? I've made a .kmz which points to what I think is Einstein's Cross - but the imagery in Google Sky is indistinct, so I can't quite tell if I've got it (which kind of negates the purpose of my 'bookmarking' it in the first place!).

(this really isn't important, so don't waste your time if it's precious :)

can't do it at work, unfortunately.

Ah, apologies - I meant the sort of geek who might actually know where Einstein's Cross is in the sky. I, for one, haven't a clue.
Unless, of course, you are an astronomy geek, Jaline?
- Jaline0
I am, but I don't know much about Einstein's Cross. Good luck :)

Nairn, someone here posted stellarium a couple of months ago (http://www.stellarium.org). I think you even posted another app a bit more complicated (not sure it was you).
if you don't have stellarium you should try it; probably better than google sky (haven't tried it yet though but seen a demo) for the more serious amateur astronomer. just a guess - i'm an astronoob and can only point to Saturn.
