Looking for an astronomy program
I'm looking for a proggy that'll allow me to do some pretty specific stuff, but I'm hopeful that there'll be programs out there. What I need is some kind of astronomy software in the vein of celestia or SolStation, but that will let me filter out stars of specific spectral types so that I'm left with only Main sequence (ie. V) F, G and K type stars.

Celestia is the closest I can find, given its ability to list the nearest 500 sars to any point in space, and then sort them into spectral type, but the problem with it is that I need my stars in a line, from earth outwards ('sfor a story I'm writing - basically I need to go planet hopping from a Colony into Sol, and want real stars with actual potential for colonization) and when you just look down a line inCelestia, you lose all but the brightest (and therefore spectrally wrong) stars as you get further away.

So, any ideas?
