Back to the old software

[johnridley]

I am now the first ever person to return DeepSky Planner, apparently.
The website for the software really doesn't say much about the feature set, I disagree about some words that are used that lead me to believe it would do something that it doesn't. I haven't gotten any hassles at all about sending the software back, though.

There's nothing wrong with the software, it just doesn't have the features I want, and there wasn't much on the website that would have clued me in to that before buying.

I wound up upgrading from SkyTools 2 to SkyTools 3 Pro. So far I'm relearning it as I haven't used it in probably 2 or 3 years. I didn't really like it before since he uses very non-standard GUI conventions, but for some reason it's not really bothering me now.

I don't think there's any software on the market that comes close to SkyTools 3 Pro featurewise.

So what was the bright 'star' just to the right of the moon last week? Jupiter? It got further away as the week went on.

Right now, the bright star in the evening is Jupiter. The one in the morning is Venus.
The moon was getting further away; Jupiter isn't moving that fast.
