5) Free: no money, no in-app-billing, no ads, no spyware, no unneeded permissions. No hidden cost for upcoming extensions. Free source code. This is amateur software, I get no financial benefit from doing this.

Please read Options/Help in the menu for detailed description and feature explanation.

What is NOT yet implemented:

- expansion file loading from within the app: the expansion files must be downloaded while downloading the app. This way no fishy permissions are required.

- Object selection and centering

- Object information

- Object searching

- Nebula

- Comets, asteroids, artificial satellites
