Default Starry Night software

Anybody had any experience with the software 'Starry Night Enthusiast 6.2'?
In particular, does it work with Vista? Evidently a lot of people have been
told that it works with Vista only to purchase it and find that it doesn't,
but one or two seem happy enough.

Perhaps the criterion is that you have to have a version of Vista which
supports Aero, but I don't know what to make of it.

Anyone any ideas?

Ian.

Hi Ian

I've had Starynights Pro Plus working with Vista. It seemed to be the
installation program that was the problem - I set it to XP compatible in
properties and re ran. The software then installed and worked OK

Mind you I've since removed Vista from my laptop and gone back to XP - I
far prefer the experience.

I used a version of Starry Night Enthusiast that was given away
free a year or two ago. It had a very slick interface, but I stopped
using it in favour of Cartes du Ciel. I would recommend CdC, mainly
because of the availibility of external catalogues. I like to
photograph double supernovae, and CdC makes it easy to
programme them in. It will then point my telescope at them
with a minimum of fuss.
