[Ham-Mac] Great Circle daylight/darkness App or Widget

[Jack Brindle]

Dick;

Take a look at Earthdesk. It is a $23.95 program that allows all  
sorts of display, including polar projections. It even can show  
somewhat accurate cloud cover if you'd like. It is a very impressive  
program. There is more to it than this. I spent some time talking to  
the author about it at MacWorld this year and was very impressed at  
the work he has done. There are versions for both Mac OS X and Windows.
