All in 1 Astro software

Hi Guys.

I have tried Maxim DL, Stellarium, The Sky6, and a couple of others.
These programs are ok in their own right but not one is perfect.

Maxim DL has a poor planetarium feature and visually is poor, like it was made in the earlt 90's.
The sky6 is not very pleasant to use when it comes to deep sky objects. You have wait and manually download every image. its hopeless.
Stellarium is the most pleasing visually and has telescope control and as a planetarium, i find it good.

What i am looking for is a software that has it all....
Nice GUI, good graphcs, easy to navigate planetarium and with telescope control, CCD control, focus control, filter wheel control...ets.....
I really like the look of Star Walk (iphone app) if only they could develop that to be PC compatible and have all the features i am looking for.

Does any one here have any suggestion?

Thanks for reading..

John
