One of the very first applications I got for my first Pocket PC years ago was this one. It is one of my all time favorite applications. Even if you don't care about astronomy it is worth having it just to look at it and move around the night sky. You can watch it track the sky in real time or move and zoom about. There is a free trial and a lot of screen shots so head on over and have a look.
