To be honest and having used both I think it's a matter of what you feel confident with and know how to use. Each program has it's own little pluses and minuses.
The biggest problem I have is keeping up with the lisencing procedure required if you change computer of have a failure requiring a rebuild etc. The system is quite neurotic requiring special files, special user codes or access to a server which only lets you log in once before it has to be reset. And people say Microsoft are paranoid.
Maybe a good program but with problems in computers I maintain Photoshop works just as well and is a breeze to install and maintain. I don't have it installed because of these problems with install. To me a waste of my hard earned. Wish I had never bought it but now I have a file, a registration detail and a lisence key I can't use without trying to contact someone somewhere. Just pathetic.

Doug i have no idea why you dislike this programme so much. I have just purchased the sky6 and CCDINSPECTOR as well as a few other astro programmes with convoluted and specialised logins and passwords and codes just to get on and logged into activate and gain access to updates. PI covers multiplatforms - the others dont. That said - i have not had an issue with pixinsight on any of the computers and sytems that i have it installed on. The new version of PI as automatic updates now - its brilliant.
Since ytou have already wasted your hard earned then why not download the latest version and use it. A lot has changed in the software.
i have only scratched the surface of the programme, but i know one thing - it convinced me that it was totally worth every cent.
