glunatic_faint_stars

NOTICE: Until Oct. 17th Kaspersky Antivirus claimed that this app would contain a trojan. This is wrong, a false detection that I discovered by chance, and that has been fixed in recent Kapersky antivirus database. This is not my fault. Please give no 1star ratings because of that.

------------------------

With this optional addition glunatic can display even fainter stars - currently up to mag 16.5.

This app is LARGE: 580MB. Download ONLY IF you have ENOUGH SPACE and a GOOD INTERNET CONNECTION.

On the other hand it contains 113027487 stars, that means only about 5.4 bytes/star.

The app itself only shows the contents of the oob files that glunatic will have access to.
