Well I never said I did the math.  The Basic program was copied out of a
Astronomy (or Sky&Telescope) magazine back in the late '80s.  It shows only
one of the galaxies group of stars, other is considered more a point mass I
guess.  Running the program on this 500MHz (in DOS of course) machine it's
not a fast compute for just 100's of stars surprisingly enough.  No where
near a real-time display.
