Warning! this new version is ressource intensive and require a powerful computer to use all the function. (a 2GHz processor, 512MB RAM , a graphic card with 64MB RAM and OpenGL support)

Plus, a HS connection might be useful if you wish to d/l the 496 Mb pro version.

Nope. Just a 'fyi' to others, perhaps familiar with Patrick Chevalley's other work- 'Cartes du Ciel'- which is an equally informative, but less resource-intensive work.
