Duane:

I've got a Treo, but I need to add memory to run Astromist.  I downloaded it, but it won't 

run.

I do have a nifty tool for figuring out what time it is at the various landing sites on Mars - 

including the Viking landers, Pathfinder, MER A and B, and the Beagle II crash site.  It's 

called "MarsClock" and it's one of those "whole Mars" clocks, like the whole Earth clock 

that shows where the terminator is on a mercator projection.  I don't know where it's from, 

as I bluetoothed it from a friend's Treo here at work.

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.

Check out the image on the right of this page:

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.
