Way beyond my area of knowledge, but anyone using Unix or Linux
can get some great open source software astronomy software
called 'xephem'.  Sky & Telescope did a review and really liked
it, though they said it was a bit difficult to use.  I
downloaded my RPM for Mandrake from the Mandrake site and there
are other ready to load RPMs and Debs out there, though the
homepage makes it look like you have to compile it yourself.
