If you've got an Intel Mac ( which I don't have) you could probably try these PC apps using an emulator- Boot Camp, Parallels or VM Ware. I have Sky Tools running on my G4 iBook using Virtual PC for Mac although it's a little limited. Sky Tools 3 Pro is the only planner- Planetarium app I know of which provides such a list of G2V stars. It has an Interactive Atlas which is like a Planetarium extension. It'll track the sky too with this map option. With an Intel Mac it'd run much better than what I have on my G4's I expect...

Thanks Mark,
I will try to follow also this calibration technique. A planetarium program that will sort out this kind of stars surely is helpful.
