I'm afraid my PPL, VFR-only Licence!, keeps me grounded between the hours of sunset and sunrise...!

The Moon, and "Stars" are what I watch from my tent, lying on the ground, in front of the FBO....
...until the Sun comes up... Wink

Is this a new star database or a repackage of "myFSstars" from a couple years back?

I will have to agree...I installed it and the view from a remote runway, with no lighting, is awesome.
