Hi Stephen
Not too sure how tight funds are, or how important other astro things are such as planetarium programs, but when I purchased my Meade LPI (2-3 years ago?) it came with bundled Meade astro software called “AutostarSuite” which included a Planetarium program. I believe that “AutostarSuite” has now been superseded by “Envisage”?
I never used the Planetarium part of “AutostarSuite” so I cannot comment on how useful it is, or whether you should really consider this as part of your key selection criteria in your decision making process.
Registax if a free program. K3CCDTools comes free in a basic release and costs a nominal amount for a more functional full release.
Cheers
Dennis
