(More customer reviews)The more I use this feature rich software the more I love it. It points out the location of any sky object from any location at any time, in both the past and future. The software will highlight and label any object you want to find and provides significantly more detail than any star chart. You can also define the maximum star magnitude to be displayed based on the visibility conditions of your location. Star patterns are shown as they would appear in the field of view of your equipment (telescope, lenses, finderscope, binoculars, etc.), which I find handy when navigating my telescope to find a particular object. You can even flip the image to see how the orientation of the objects would look through your telescope. (I use a manual Orion SkyQuest XT8 Dobsonian telescope, so I do not use the telescope control features.) You can even have the program search for and point you to the location of any object you define (planets, stars, meteor showers, constellations, asteroids, Messier objects, NGC objects, etc.). Although the astrophotographs provided are better than what you will see with the naked eye through your telescope, they do help in locating the objects. (Their brightness can also be adjusted.) The pictures can be turned on or off at your discretion. What I described here is just a portion of the capabilities and features available. The bottom line is if you are interested in getting the most out of your telescope, this program is a must have!
