Here are some screenshots:

Not sure if it can replace kstars and the many other projects in SF.
Replace? It can wipe the floor with them, although those are fine
projects in their own right. I've used Celestia for years, and a
guy I spoke to at the local planetarium showed us some animations
he created using Celestia projected with a multiple video projection
system onto the 30m dome he works with. Brilliant.
I was also thinking about Stellarium < http://stellarium.sourceforge.net/ >.
I'm just not sure, judging by the screenshots, if/how Celestia handles maps
and datasets.
Have a look: http://stellarium.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html
Have got that too already, and have done so again for years. Its
cool too, although different as its viewport is limited to terra
firma. A 180 hemispheric projection onto the dome at the planetarium
would also look very cool...I must suggest that to the dude...
