Just to confuse the issue (maybe
) I mostly use Cartes du Ciel. It's free, and for the money, it's brilliant. There may be other packages that are easier to learn and/or use but I've tried a few (like The Sky level 1 (?) that came with my scope, and Deep Sky, Redshift, etc) but found them all much of a muchness. Each just takes a while to learn it's own way of working, so it can be a tedious process selecting a program!
In the end, I chose Cartes du Ciel because it was free, and exceeds my needs. Maybe that will change if start doing something that challenges Cartes's capabilities...
Best of luck! Enjoy playing with all the programs! I'm sure you'll find one that suits you!
