Ditto, ditto! After using both, I still reckon Voyager is my fave. The interface relies less on OpenGL so it is also much snappier. They are both great programs, but I find Voyager is more data-centric and SN presentation-centric. Take your pick, or, like me who also has StarAtlasPRO, try them all. Truthfully? They are all extremely capable, and being commercial-quality they just, well.. work as advertised. No clunks, no spits, no spats. It just comes down to my mood on the day which one I'll fire up for the evening!

Rob - it looks a little warped because of the projection method chosen ATM. You have 7 methods to chose from - Gnomonic, Orthographic, Stereoscopic, Equidistant, Mercator, Elliptical and Sinusoidal.

Here's me flying to Neptune..... zwoooosh!!

Cheers
Chris

in 3D, kinda like star trek Enterprise. You can also ride Satelites in Earths
orbit, watch Earth transit the sun from Saturn as it did last year. You can
print 3 pane charts and indenpendantly set the FOV for the ep to be used,
finderscope and wide field of the constellation. Just select to object and
center it and print. I find that one of the most handy features of SN.
