Wrong. This software is not for that, it is a map of the sky, not a map of your current night sky. What you're suggesting could sort of be done in this sofware by typing in your location and having the camera constrained to the view you have from your area, but that is about it. What you're suggesting would be entirely different software.

Second, what are you complaining about the pictures for? Seriously? Have you tried to use other night sky software? This is way better than most other things out there and it's free.

I am certain that Sky WILL BE better than other things, but the poster is correct - we need a view from a selected location/time. As for the 'other things out there' there is one other that is also free and open source - see http://www.stellarium.org/
