I know this has been discussed here before, but I don't remember much about it. I think I'd like to get a sky map program. I looked at the website for TheSky and it looks nice. I'm looking specifically for a program that will give me sky positions for the planets, planetary moons, things like that. I would like some DSO info as well, and something that is accurate too.

Ideas, preferences?

Thanks!!

TheSky is a first class program, very nice.

I also like SkyTools 2 by Capella Soft. Besides the charting capability, it has a nice observing journal capability, and is much less in price.
