I had TheSky6 and it did everything I needed it, too, but, on a whim, I decided to purchase and download (which took an eon; Software Bisque's site is abysmally slow) TheSkyX Professional Edition.
Anyone care to outline the major benefits of TheSkyX over TheSky6?
While I was on the site, I had to struggle to keep my finger off the order button on a Paramount MX+. 
Cheers!

Well, in my experience Sky 6 just works, X "might", for mount control anyway.....
I too like Starry night pro 6 for planning, and Sky X even more lately for that, its great, although Sky X doesnt have a large number of common objects for imaging in its database which is really frustrating, despite its huge database generally.
I wouldnt touch Sky X with a barge poll just for mount control (if your mount is compatible with Sky 6). I still see endless drama with it on the net. Sky 6 on an OBS PC is rock stable and all it does for me is point to an object and track with a model, thats all I want it do, and it does that all the time without fail (with my PME), all else is fluff.
I think Sky X is great, but it goes no where near my mount.
