Another great and free java based program on the web is SkyviewCafe. I believe it is skyviewcafe.com, but you can easily google for it. It gives up to the minute placement of the stars, planets, etc from a view of where YOU are. It has other nifty info as well. Just play around with all the tabs and have fun.
I have several astronomy apps and websites, so if anyone is interested, feel free to send me a message, and I'll see what I can do to get an app that serves your purpose for you. I love stargazing, plus I do some astrology, so it helps to have these apps.
