Deepsky 2003 Astronomy Software vs Starry Night
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 http://www.knoxvilleobservers.org/be...snpreview1.htm 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 http://www.knoxvilleobservers.org/be...oolsreview.htm I plan on doing a review on DeepSky 2003 as I own that as well. x-- 100 Proof News - http://www.100ProofNews.com x-- 3,500+ Binary NewsGroups, and over 90,000 other groups x-- Access to over 800 Gigs/Day - $8.95/Month x-- UNLIMITED DOWNLOAD |
