I don't use any of those. I use a program that I got about six years ago called Starrynight. It is able to plot the movements of the planets and stars for a hundred plus years in the future as well as show the positions for over one thousand years in the past, it is made by SPACE.com in Canada.

I'm still using a very old version of Starry Night Backyard, version 3.1 which I've had for many years. It's been very useful in telling me if certain stars are visible or below the horizon, and where to look with my telescope. It's also useful just to sit at my desk and be able to name all the stars I can see out of my patio window.

Have you updated it? They have updates on their website. I am using Starry Night Pro 4.5.

I installed it the other day. What I noticed while checking my placemarks is that they have got new satellite photo's and the quality for some of my places are not so good now as in the previous versions. Another thing I noticed is that there now is some kind of 3D feeling also on places where it was 2D before. And a lot of people have uploaded informations and photos which is good even I'll see if I can delete some of the photos. Some places there are too many and some of them are certainly not better than my own pics from those places.


Oh, and by the way, I took a look at the sky option for some places, it looks nice but I haven't really looked into it. I have Stellarium installed, which is good, but I'll look into the new feature in Google Earth to see where they are different from each other and where they are alike.

Hi Fuzzy, If you are using Google Earth you can see the town I live in, just type in Klamath Falls, Oregon, USA. The quality is pretty good, not as good as previous versions, but still good.
