Fantastic plugin for accessing APOD! Fast, simple and effective, Thank you!

I don't often trust extensions from smaller developers, but I was immediately impressed with the limited privileges requested. The interface is wonderfully modern, with no extraneous distractions. I do hope the pictures are simply downloaded whenever they become available online, as setting a time can be slightly annoying. I'd far rather it was all handled automatically, as it is. :D
