TUBA
The TOURING THE UNIVERSE THROUGH BINOCULARS STAR ATLAS (TUBA, for short) is the only star atlas designed specifically for use with binoculars. Conceived by Dean Williams of Cabot, Arkansas, the atlas plots all of the objects listed in the book plus shows stars to 11th magnitude, a reasonable limit for giant binoculars. (Of course, you can adjust that to show fewer stars, as desired.)

Moonphase
Moonphase 3.1 - displays the current moon phase of current day as an icon in the Activity field. You can change time zone, latitude and longitude (you can also click on the map!) to get a more accurate moon distance, moon rise, moon transit and moon set times and also the sun rise, sun transit and sun set. A little bonus: If you like to fish, mark the 'Show good fish days' option (fishing calendar, derived from 'the anglers Almanac').

Little Windows Helpers
Yes, it is possible to write small Windows programs - but who cares? If you do, have a look at these programs written in PureBasic. They do not come with an installation program, and they do not make any entries in the Windows Registry. Just unzip the files to a program folder, and make a shortcut.
