[Kstars-devel] GSoC 2011 project

[Rafał Kułaga]

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your interest in my project and the ideas it was based on.
I've just added an example finder chart to my summarising blog post -
http://rkulaga.wordpress.com/2011/08/25/my-gsoc-2011-project-finished/.

Please let me know if you have any other ideas that could help me to
improve the results of my project.

Cheers,
Rafal
