Hi
I believe that SkyTools was designed at its core, as an observation planning application, so it is “observation planning” centric. That is, the program behaves and functions very intuitively and easily in that mode of operation.
The others that you listed may be “charting centric” with the “observation planning” elements added on perhaps later? This makes them less intuitive and perhaps more awkward to use?
I have TheSky Pro 6 and Starry Night Pro 6 and for “charting centric” work I always turn to them as I find they are functionally strong and easy to use in that mode.
If I want to create a custom imaging or observing list, plan an imaging or observing session of several objects, then I instinctively turn to SkyTools as that is its core design philosophy and strength.
Cheers
Dennis
