+C. Acknowledgements
+
+ KStars is a labor of love.  It started as a personal hobby of mine, but 
+ very soon after I first posted the code on Sourceforge, it started to 
+ attract other developers.  I am just completely impressed and gratified 
+ by my co-developers.  I couldn't ask for a more talented, friendly crew.  
+ It goes without saying that KStars would be nowhere near what it is today 
+ without their efforts.  Together, we've made something we can all be 
+ proud of.
+
+ We used (primarily) two books as a guide in writing the algorithms used
+ in KStars:
+ + "Practical Astronomy With Your Calculator" by Peter Duffett-Smith
+ + "Astronomical Algorithms" by Jean Meeus
+
+ Thanks to the developers of Qt and KDE whose peerless API made KStars 
+ possible.  Thanks also to the tireless efforts of the KDE translation 
+ teams, who bring KStars to a global audience.
+
+ Thanks to everyone at the KDevelop message boards and on irc.kde.org,
+ for answering my frequent questions.
+
+ Thanks also to the many users who have submitted bug reports or other 
+ feedback.
+
+
+You're still reading this? :)
+Well, that's about it.  I hope you enjoy KStars!
