Heres a link that I posted on the medication board but I thought it might be good to post it here as well for those that are interested.

> Larry, my silence only shows I live on the west coast (Pacific time) & like sleeping late. I'm definitely NOT a morning person.

Heres a link to a really cool realtime Sunclock that shows the day and night regions of the earth. At the time of this post the sun clock shows that Australia and Antarctica are the only continents fully in the sun. Asia is almost fully sunny, however Europe, Africa, North and South America are fully in the dark at the moment.

see http://www.worldtimezone.com/datetime.htm

I find this visual representation of the world night and day regions gives me a great overview of whether my fellow Babblers are likely to be asleep or awake at the time that I am posting. For instance I can see that the sun has only just set on the Alaskan coast. That it has been dark only a few hours in California and that these Babblers are likely to be settling in for a relaxed evening of posting. On the other hand babblers in New York are probably getting ready to go to bed and I would hope that the European and African Babblers are sleeping soundly at the moment. Therefore I won't expect any posts from them on this board for at least a few hours.

Funny, bluedog... After I posted on PB, I figured to try finding that star chart again & what did I find? AND first result that showed up in Google! I entered a few diff words this time. Most've been pretty dopey when I looked before & gave up too easily.

Anyway, if you're a star buff like me & you're interested, you can d/l the software for free at:

If you read the overview, you'll get an idea of the extent of what you can do with it. Pretty nice for viewing the night sky.

Whoopee! I'm just so tickled I found it again & it wasn't even hard!

Thanks for this link Iso.

I have already downloaded the full program. I'll let you know how I find it once I've had bit of a "play around" with the program but it looks pretty good!!!
