I'm just wondering, World Wide Telescope has a great sky map, is there a way to add this to my Windows 8 Store app? I have no experience with DIrectX which is why a prebuilt sky map API would be really useful.

The license for WWT (because of the nature of the data we provide) is for non-commercial use. You could put it into a free App Store app designed for educators, but not something you charge for.

There is a kit for getting started with the WWT control in Windows 8 created by a third party here https://github.com/apimash/StarterKits
