Deep Sky 2003 has something called a deep sky database which consist of dark
nebula and open clusters outside the ngc/ic catalogs. Many, many , many ,
many of those objects can be seen in humble binoculars. Starry Night sadly
has the absolute worse deepsky database out of all commercial mainstream
astronomical software. Also DeepSky 2003 planner is much better and it has
logging.
Don't get me wrong I love Starry Night, but it is an educator tool and
cloudy night entertainment. It is not suitable for the amateur as compared
to other lower cost software.

See a review I have done for Starry Night

You should also check out SkyTools. It cost twice as much as DeepSky 2003
but it is 3 times better. See a review of it here

I plan on doing a review on DeepSky 2003 as I own that as well.
