Smile Star Atlas Pro

I've been contemplating the purchase of either 'The Sky' or other similar software primarily for 'click and point' when I came accross Star Atlas Pro. Is there any reviews that I can view that gives an independant analysis.


Cheers

Nico

I use Star Atlas Pro with the Hyper-G add-on as my primary Star Atlas, with ASCOM it controls the Gemini go-to on my Losmandy and accurately puts any object I go-to in the field of view of my most powerful eyepiece. I find when I am photographing, I don't need to take the camera off the telescope to center the object I want to photograph.

An excellent piece of software, extremely capable and highly recommended.
