Skyglobe is still my favorite, still using version 3.6 from 1993 with a 1999 update. DOS program, simple and fast, runs through XP perfectly.How can you possibly take anything seriously?

I've heard of a good program called redshift, but I don't know what it did (did let you fly through the solar system though, IIRC), and it was a little while ago. Wouldn't be surprised if there are newer versions though.
