    APEMAN  It works well on Leopard. It does what it says it would do.

    Thanks

    I've been suffering through the loss of Solscape when I upgraded to Leopard. Sun Spotter doesn't do all that Solscape does, but that's OK. I like it.   (Version 2.3)

    NEALE MONKS  Of course. And the application Read Me says as much! But if you're an amateur astronomer (like me) who likes to view the Sun through a telescope, being able to quickly toggle between different solar views via keyboard shortcuts is actually very useful.  (Version 2.0.1)

    TICE  Hmm.. instead of using an application I can just go to http://plop.nascom.nasa.gov/ and get the images in my browser.  (Version 2.0.1)
