Thanks Eric and Mike for your replies. In answer to your question Mike, my objective is basically photography. I managed to take a couple of shots (I'm not very proud of) so far, but I'm finding that the amount of time I spend attempting to get the tracking, focusing, and then searching into the only area of the sky to get a good less light polluted shot. I really need much better time help in good planning of where my best view of the subject will be so I can get the best shots.
Where I am in Sydney I find that my darkest sky looks east and as I look straight overhead the light pollution starts to have more effect.
I'll let you know how Deep Sky Planner 4 is when I get the package.... I took the plunge and decided to purchase it.
Cheers,
