Starry Night versus Bisque

I am not using any astronomy computer program like starry night and I do not have a Goto telescope. I have the Starry Night Enthusiast program which is like kindergarten and really do not like it. Anyone know what the Bisque software is like and how it compares to starry night? Are there any programs out there that have a sense of realism instead of the fake various colors stars that twinkle? CCD imaged programs? Also what good do these programs do if one is not running a goto scope? Seems like a lot of money to spend and one is better of with a good Star Chart like Tirions.
Thank You

there are several versions of starry night. from the kindergarden to the starry night astrophoto suite for 299.00bucks. I have never used bisque, I do have maxim dl and its no easy thing for processing.
