A lot of new things have been introduced in this version.

Primarily, Starlight now has touch control in addition to motion-based control.  Many of you were clamoring for that feature, and it should have been in Starlight from the beginning, but now it's here - finally!

You will notice Starlight has a new icon.  I wanted something less abstract than the original icon.  Something that screamed "This APP FINDS CONSTELLATIONS!"  So this is the end result.

And as always, this is an evolving app with more updates to come.  It is entirely possible some stars will go nova before the last update is finished.  So stay tuned, and keep watching the skies!
