Stellarium;

OpenGL rendering and quite nice.

Stellarium

http://stellarium.sourceforge.net/index.html

Download Stellarium for free. A planetarium software that shows a 3D simulation of the night sky. Stellarium renders 3D photo-realistic skies in real time with OpenGL. It displays stars, constellations, planets, nebulae and others things like ground, landscape, atmosphere, etc.

Don't forget to download the PDF documentation (67 pages).

Cool
