Comment 2 for bug 1075222

Hello Alexander (are you German? I am),

thank you for the fast response. I do not even know what open GL is and if
it is somehow on my machine. I'll check it out.

Well I don't know how deep you are into astronomy but star-time is very
important for the serious student of archeo-astronomy. It keeps track of
the position of the equinox point and is geared to the daily movement of
the stars instead of the sun. So knowing star-time and ecliptic position of
the sun on any specific day defines the relative position of earth with
reference to the stars. Very important. One can easily calculate star-time
for any date but is very handy to have it displayed with other times p.e.
UT. Also doing history I (maybe nobody else -:) ) always need ecliptic
coordinates of the stars but it would be too much to include that for only
one person. Thank you anyway for this program, it works fine and especially
the realistic simulation of light, atmosphere, etc. helps me in doing
studies of heliacal risings in the distant past.

Regards
H.D. Zimmermann
