Just a note of warning: I have a copy of Starry Night Pro Plus 6 and it crashes every time I search for a NGC or Messier object. The same thing happens on two different computers, so it's not some odd Windows problem on my laptop. I reported this more than two years ago. The support folks and the developers apparently agreed this is a bug but Simulation Curriculum Corp. have not seen fit to produce an update/fix to date. I last pinged their support address again a few days ago and nobody has bothered to reply. The copyright message on the software is dated 2009. It looks to me like this is a dead product and that they are just milking sales and not doing any maintenance.
Sorry H, didn't mean to rain on your parade but I think this is something that folks ought to know before shelling out a substantial amount of money to buy a copy. Apart from crashing every time I search for an object it is a nice piece of software.
Cheers,
Rick.
