Also in 2011, SkySafari for Mac OS X was released and I quickly came to prefer it over Voyager version 4.5 (which was the latest version at the time, had become outdated, and was last updated in 2010). In 2011, SkySafari Pro 3 for iOS came out from Southern Stars and I upgraded. When SkyVoyager (now known as SkySafari) and SkyGazer for the iPhone were released in 2009, I got them, as well as Star Walk, and decided on SkyVoyager as my 'in the field' sky chart.

About that same time I got a printed copy of Rigel Systems The Trained Sky Star Atlas. For a few years in the early 2000s I used Star Pilot on my Palm Vx. In the 1990s I started using Carina Software Voyager II software on a Macintosh. While an undergraduate student in Astrophysics, 1966-70, I used the IU Astronomy Department's copy of the Palomar Observatory Sky Atlas. I continued to use this edition of Norton's into the 1990s. I used a planisphere,ДЄ Sky & Telescope Lunar Map, Norton's Star Atlas (14th Edition, 1959),ДЄnd the monthly charts in Sky & Telescope magazine, all of these back in the 1960s. Like many long-time amateur astronomers, my first star charts were printed.

(I usually do read hardware and software manuals before using a product.)Д«efore I get further into this Starry Night Pro Plus review, I thought it would be helpful to provide some background on my use of star charts. I'll read that before I get into the application. Fortunately, there is a Users Guide (PDF) accessible from within the application. So, there is a lot to learn about using Starry Night Pro. Also, the default screen showed my location as 'Near Mount Lemmon IR Observatory, USA'.

Once configured it was not obvious how you change the name of your current 'Home Location' to something else, like 'Cassiopeia Observatory'. Time Zone can be obtained from your computer's setting. You can do that via a city name (if you live in or near one of its known cities), a map view, your Latitude/Longitude, or your Zip/Postal Code. Upon initial installation and launch you are prompted to enter your 'Home Location'. It includes all the features and capabilities of the other versions. I will be dicussing the 'Pro Plus' version, which is the highest, most capable version available. You can upgrade from one version to a higher version by purchasing the upgrade. There are several versions of Starry Night available at various prices. It was the same version as available via download (2.5 GB) from their web site. Simulation Curriculum sent me a copy of Starry Night Pro Plus 7 for Mac OS X on a DVD-ROM.
