When the orrery window is minimized by the N900's window manager, it produces a different display which is legible even when the window is in its shrunken state.  The image at the right shown this minimal mode, when the N900 is in landscape mode.  It shown the phase of the moon in the center, and plots indicating the Sun (far right plot) and Moon (far left plot) azimuth (outside triangle) and elevation (inside arrow).  The triangle and arrow are green if the object is currently above the horizon.  At the top of the display, the UT is shown, and the bottom of the display has the LST.  These are continuously updated.

In portrait mode, the minimized display shows the names of each planet that is currently above the horizon (not including uranus and Neptune, which are not visible to the unaided eye).  The elevation of the planet, in degrees, is also shown, in green if the source has not yet passed through transit, and red otherwise.
