I'm not an admin of GHNS so I don't know what is acceptable there. But if you
use a cache then when you reposition to somewhere you already have been it
would read the stars file from your hard disk. Also I think you could have
both posibilities: downloading all the starts from somewhere (I also think
that it might be a good idea to download it from NOMAD), and also downloading
on-the-go.
