Comments:
orrery changes in version 3.2.3:
New Features: Added many more star names, and added code to prevent star names from overlapping
Added Bayer designations (Greek letter designations)
Added a page showing various astronomical times such as local solar time, etc. (this was a user request)
Added a page showing the analemma for the currently selected year and hemisphere.
Added starting times for each of the four seasons to the "Sun and Moon" page.
The current phone position is pre-loaded into the latitude and longitude picker widgets. Similarly, the current time is loaded into the time picker widget (this was a user request).
Bug Fixes: Removed some unneeded calculations from the routine which plots constellation stick figures.
The screen is no longer periodically updated when the app is minimized (does not have focus). This should save a little battery power.
