Nothing better or worse than the other options. EQMac does the same as EQmod. Stellarium, PHD, PixInsight are firm favourites on any platform. You can use Wine to run Windows programs, and most Linux programs distribute the source code that you can compile on a Mac. It's a middle ground, but nothing sticks out for astro
