Guide vs. StarryNight Pro and TheSky
Paulo Cacella Sep 11, 2001
My two cents....
I´ve used extensively almost all astronomy packages available for some 5
or more years. It seems to me that we have two sw that are a must have:
1 - For presentations and new amateur astronomers the software is
RedShift.
2 - If you have at least a small knowledge of amateur astronomy there is
only one choice as a scope companion: Guide. It is light years ahead
(not time...space :)))) of any other, including The Sky, Megastar etc...
No comparison.
3 - For CCD I´ve found two : Maxim DL and Astroart. Mira may be a choice
but it is expensive.
