Hi Thomas,

Thanks a lot, that does clear some things up.  Sorry to hear about your system 
crash :(

I'm glad you mentioned this, because I didn't really understand this 
function :).

One more:
I think the drawTrail() function belongs in the KSPlanet/KSAsteroid/etc class, 
rather than in the Component.  In KStarsData, we will keep a QList of 
pointers to all the solar system bodies that have trails attached, so it 
makes more sense to have the drawing function attached to those objects.

On a related note, will it ever be necessary to find an object in the 
component, given a pointer to the object?  i.e., do we need a function like:

SkyComponent::find( SkyObject *o ) 

?
