    I dig it but I'd really appreciate if the widget didn't have the text above it.

    Excellent Work !!!, I use this as a natural clock. I find this way as the ideal way to see time. An ideal clock and calendar combined!!!.

    Love it! Being an amatuer astronomer, I mainly view the Sun; (i.e. with an appropriate solar filter or Herschel solar wedge on my telescope); Moon and planets. I do not have to open an intensive astronomy app to see which planet or planets is above the horizon at any given time.

    I like lightweight apps that have a short list of permissions and work as intended. Thanks.
