Showing if a Planet is just visible from my earth location?

Hello,

is it possible that Celestia can show which planets are actual visible from my latitude/longitude location on earth?

Example: Is the position from Mars, Venus etc. from my location on earth (actually UTC-time) visible or is the planet perhaps just behind my (earth) horizont.

PS: I read also the other posting about the ?€?Calender?€

Hi Fridger,
thank you for your help.
i will install your location file in the extra folder.

Key shortcut planets: i think you mean type of number 1-9 and G ?

regards,

I generally meant ALL key shortcuts in Celestia ;-) . No I didn't mean to GO to a planet (which would indeed be 1-9 G).
I meant landing on the SURFACE of a (selected) planet. Also this key is OS dependent and you havn't told us your OS yet, right ?
