For all the Mars hoopla right now, has anybody ever used the palm program Astromist?


It has a new Mars tool that is so incredibly helpful when observing or imaging Mars.

It even does a better job of depicting what I see in my images than say StarryNight.

PS. it also shows when the Red spot of Jupiter is in view, and what orientation Saturn's rings 

are at as well as the moons for all three planets. Plus a whole boat load of other things that I 

just won't keep typing about.
