Hi. Is there an application (free or otherwise) that lets you see the
hevenly bodies from the perspective of standing on the earth and
looking out into space?

Of course you would see the horizon and the obsever could change his
azimuth direction.

I'm wanting to have the programme show me the sun and planets as they
appear to an obsever standing on the earth looking out - as you do.
Thanks.

You could try Stellarium which gives you a nice and realistic view

Yes, Stellarium. Just been using it. It's very good. Just the job
actually. Fantasic to watch the constellations and stars move across the
sky in speeded-up fashion.

I've set it for Leeds. I see Capella never sets. I wondered if it did.
