Hi,
I've been looking for similar software, so far have been using stellarium and maxim. But friday night which turned out to be perfect, stellarium decided not to sync when i centered on a star. just refused to work. and when I want to use maxim to control for plate solving, I have to disconnect stellariumscope, which meant all my sync points were lost even though i had the save and load points ticked in eqascom.
I've tried the client server mode, and it works well, usually!!.

so i'm back looking for something.
starry night is good, but a bit too processor intensive.
i then played with CDC, I hated it for its old 16bit look and feel, but was surprised and the number of options it has. extremely extensive.
and one good thing is it'll give you a list of objects in the FOV by catalog name, just double click and it'll bring up an image instantly. very very handy if you're looking for targets to image.
the Skyx seems a bit too complex for me.

Cheers
