II has a Sun Information and Sun Compass display and can automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time (DST) in 50 different time zones. In addition, Sol! II also now includes a sun tracker that plots the position of the sun through its daily arc!
Moon Info! - A utility for computing Moon Phase, Percent Illumination, Rise, Set and other interesting information about our closest neighor in the Solar System!
Messier! - A program that computes the rise, set, altitude, azimuth, and other information about all of the Messier objects. It also includes a portable observation log to log your observations in the field and later export them to your desktop computer.
Planets! - A program that computes the rise, set, altitude, azimuth, and other information about all of our neighboring planets. It also includes a portable observation log to log your observations in the field and later export them to your desktop computer.

Lunar Lunar - Astronomy for the Palm OS. Lunar helps you observe the Moon by showing you the phases, the position in its orbit around Earth, the distance from Earth, its age in the current lunation and the percentage of illumination. It also gives you the names of the prominent features on the face of the Moon and the major quarters in the current lunation
Moon Phase Moon Phase will graphically display the phase of the Moon for any day.
This version is corrected to work with any version of the PalmPilot, to my knowledge.
What's New in This Release:
· Fixed failing to use default colors when not in inverted mode
Lunar (Japanese) Lunar (Japanese) - Astronomy for the Palm OS.

Mondphase Mondphase - German translation of Moon Phase.
This application will graphically display the phase of the Moon for any day.
This version is corrected to work with any version of the PalmPilot, to my knowledge.
The older pilots won't have the full functionality, however
SunFly SunFly - allows computation of sunrise and sunset observed from an aircraft.
With SunFly, mainly an application for aviators, you can exactly predict not only time but also the position of sunrise or sunset.
Insert two waypoints with its coordinates and the respective estimated time over (ETO), the flight level and SunFly does the rest
2004 Meteor Shower Database 2004 Meteor Shower Database - This is a database of 2004 meteor showers, including: name of the shower, date range, date at which the shower peaks, the maximum rate per hour, and the radiant.
For observation, the higher ZHR (Zenithal Hourly Rate), the better (more meteors).
Maximum dates in parentheses indicate reference dates for the radiant, not true maxima
