Re: XEphem in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)?

By the way a little offtopic, I wrote in my blurt blog an article about the Jupiter and Saturn conjuntion, and used some screenshoots from my Xephem on FreeBSD 12.1 and KDE5 Plasma, and also put a link to your site for those interested on downloading xephem.
The article is for begginers and amateurs.
You can check it down here (the article is in Spanish). ?

But I have needed a WIndows X server before and I found? worked for me.

oh, one thing though: you need an X server on windows and all that - I use
mobaXterm for that. works like a charm - install, open WSL session inside
mobaXterm, run X apps.
