Let me add also:

Everytime you do a save in SH3 it writes the geo coords into a *.maps file (name of your skipper) and documents precisely where you boat is on the F5 chart in the game. Python calculates the necessary L&L and places that location in Stellarium so when you view the celestial canopy you are seeing if from your boat's location...

I think that Stellarium is just as good as Starry Night...mainly due to the price ($0.00)

Final note:

All of this is for naught if you use waypoints in your play. Try getting from point A to point B without waypoints and you'll understand the meaning of "being alert on watch." lol

hehe.. thanks. Taking a look at Stellarium right now.
Your position will be still shown on the in-game map?
