STARRY NIGHT PRO VS FULL

While serious astronomy buffs may find that advanced features such as these are useful, Starry Night Enthusiast will satisfy casual stargazers. The Pro version of Starry Night 5.0 offers extensive astronomical databases and can automatically aim digitally controlled physical telescopes at selected viewing targets such as planets and moons. Version 5.0.1, which Imaginova says will address these problems, should be available by the time you read this. And the program occasionally leaves you stuck staring into a vast star field-doing a 180-degree turn to fix the point of view is not always easy to manage. On-screen text is sometimes cut off and therefore unreadable. Cursor behavior is erratic: the cursor’s shape (arrow, hand, resizing tool, and so on) doesn’t change correspondingly as the mouse moves over different types of objects in the user interface.
STARRY NIGHT PRO VS MAC OS X
It installs in your Mac OS X root folder rather than in the Applications folder, for example, and you have to eject the installation discs manually.
Imaginova released version 5.0 prematurely a number of annoying bugs mar the program. And the program’s display options, which control the brightness of stars, rendering of planetary surface detail, and display of planets’ and moons’ orbital paths, are complicated by an unfriendly interface that makes finding a specific setting difficult.
STARRY NIGHT PRO VS MANUAL
The program’s Spaceship mode allows you to cruise, at speeds of up to 50 million light-years per second, to any of 28,000 distant galaxies, but it’s difficult to master, as are Starry Night’s other manual navigational controls.
