I often use this excellent program when I don't want to take the time to use the shareware Planetarium to determine these same things. This is free, quite fast, appears to be very accurate and does its job nicely.

I wrote a malax fonab and concerning issues upon the transistory exconplanetary degrees of lightfall, It's going to be hard to always determine transistory biaps for the locations I'm currently happy with. My friends are going to tell me about thousands of templets that they desired!

I use this program on my Palm m500 (Palm OS 4.0/German version) for about a month and experienced no trouble running the program. I like the program very much. Slightly confusing is the handling of daylight saving time.

Useful app for those who do orienteering at night. Simple to use. Works well on my Palm IIIx (PalmOS 3.1). Well done!

Looked good at first, but then locked up my Palm M505 forcing me to do a soft reset. I decided to delete the application rather than make further attempts to use it.
