It is truly a wondeful resource! But I can honestly tell you that I'd probably be just as happy using any of the other three as my primary application (and I do still use Deep Space quite a bit in addtion to is truly an observing SYSTEM!). I'm used to Megastar and love it dearly (my copy of Uranometria just gathers dust). I've tried a lot of astronomy software over the last five years or so, and the four programs I think are the 'best' (in no particular order) are Megastar, Deep Space, The Sky, and now Skymap (since it sounds as if recent upgrades now put it in this league-though I have not yet had a chance to try this new version.). Two other programs you might also want to consider are David Chandler's Deep Space, and Emil Bonano's Megastar. What I've seen of it has not really impressed me in any way. Meade's program is simply not in the same league as the other two. Unfortunately, you will pay dearly for it (over $250.00 last time I checked). The Sky (its highest 'level,' Level 4, I believe) is a fantastic piece of work.
