Nice app!
A help button on the window menu would be useful for the novice user: have it open the http://wiki.maemo.org/Orrery page in the browser.
The solar system scheme needs a few improvements. I've tried to press the -10 years button and it started going in the past very slowly, and while it was doing that I could not close it using the X. After a while it hanged and the system asked me if I wanted to close it. However, this app is awesome, nice job.

You can zoom out by pressing the screen for more than 1/3 second.

Nice thank you.

The initial star map comes up and looks nice, but after zooming in i am not able to get back to start without a application restart.
No thumbs for lacking info i found useful.
Additional comments: Excellent! Instructions would be useful about zooming in/out, moving, rotating and switching constellations on/off in the main view.
