Hum,
Gone is the annoying `this is a demo` right in the middle of the screen.

StarChartGL v1.0 is a modern 3D star chart for Microsoft Windows.
StarChartGL is fast and extremely accurate. StarChartGL uses OpenGL to render the graphics, this makes the graphics in StarChartGL clean, fast and picturesque. StarChartGL uses real photographs of Messier objects and planets to make the viewing experience much more pleasurable and inspirational.

STARCHARTGL
An OpenGL star chart / planetarium with very realistic graphics.
110,000 stars. Messier objects, the major planets and visible moons;
Animate the passing of night and day or follow a planet, star or messier object's path over a few minutes to a few centuries.
Realistic night and day colours.

Free for non-commercial use, (4.4MB), (the one I downloaded has the usual annoying `this is a demo` right in the middle of the screen)

It uses OpenGL to render the graphics, using real photographs of Messier objects and planets to make the viewing experience much more pleasurable and inspirational.

Though I personally didn`t find it that pleasurable to use.
(eg. I have now deleted this program from my system.)
