STARRY NIGHT PRO 5.8.4 PRO
For the most part, I am so disappointed that I will revert to Starry Night Pro 6 for my go to target verification software.
STARRY NIGHT PRO 5.8.4 SOFTWARE
I need to voice my 2 cent opinion on the new Starry Night 8 Pro software as compared to Starry night Pro 6. Most of the reason why I use Starry Night is because it syncs data with my most beloved and precious SkySafari. On my laptop, I use Starry Night 80% of the time and TheSkyX 20%. I feel there are better and lower cost options for those of use with 2 eyes and a dob. It is the best for astrophotographers with robotic observatories. TheSky is mostly targeted to astrophotography and serious scope control. If I want to dig deep for deepsky targets, I use TheSky. The Deepsky database is very large and it is very easy to add to it. It just tells you if a star is greater or less than 10" from it's companion, the end. However printing charts is just a little bit 90's. Starry Night's printed charts sucks major &^%.
Starry Night is fine for me with a 14 inch that only has access to Bortle 3 skies 4 times a year. Skytools is a much better option for them. Actually Starry Night is not great for those with a 20" dob that is mega serious with galaxy observing. The deepsky data, though much improved, is very poor for galaxy clusters. The symbols for galaxies does not represent position angle and elongation. Searching and filtering to generate observing list is very poor. I use Starry Night to generate videos on many different educational concepts to post on Facebook. It graphically shows how eclipses work, motions of the sky, 3D view of the solar system and distribution of galaxies in our universe. Starry Night is second to none for public outreach and education. Very useful for clusters, nebula and dark nebula. The charts are easy to read, clear and the allsky photos are great. It is large, plotting most objects seen in most amateur telescopes. The deepsky database in Starry Night 8 is major, big, huge, mega, much, more, lots, groovy improved. TheSkyX doesn't have anything remotely close to that. I can create an observing plan in Starry Night the afternoon before an observing session and it is on my phone ready to go when I connect it to my scope. Astronomy software has been way behind until Starry Night 8. The logs I enter in SkySafari at my scope sync in real time for me to relive the memory in Starry Night the next morning. That has been the proper way to use computers for the past decade. My phone is an extension of my laptop, same data and changes sync back and forth. Create a Onenote on your phone and view and add to on your laptop.
STARRY NIGHT PRO 5.8.4 UPDATE
You edit an Excel file on your laptop and little later that update is synced to your phone. So how does that relate to Starry Night? It's 2019 and the modern way to use computers are different. SkySafari covers 100% of my needs at the scope.
I use SkySafari's observing list to guide my scope to cool new targets and I log my observations right at the scope. This setup works great and accurately guides my scope to any target I wish. SkySafari connects to both my Inteliscope dobs through SkiFi wifi hub. I don't use a laptop in the field at all. Out in the field at my telescope I don't use either TheSky or Starry Night. I am strictly a visual observer and enjoy public outreach. I'll tell you how I use them which may help you decide. I have both TheSky X and Starry Night 8 Pro Plus. Good luck you your choice!

It has a built in Plate Solver, and is a steal at US $99.00 and PHD2 guiding designed to run with SGP is freeware and in use by so many of us. Considerably cheaper, SGP is the "best in the house" for imaging.
STARRY NIGHT PRO 5.8.4 GENERATOR
I already use Sequence Generator Pro and PHD2 for imaging and guiding. If you have an observatory, the SkyX Pro would probably be more suited to your needs. So for more up-to-date appearance, and functionality.and having no previous Planetarium program as yet, I would take the plunge and get The SkyX Serious Astronomer. You won't be able to Plate Solve, run Dome Control, etc. You can still control your mount with the Serious Astronomer version. If you want all of the add-ons, I think it would be better to go for the SkyX Pro (and not the Serious Astronomer Version). The addon-s (if you really need them, are atrocious in cost as well. You can only put the SkyX on 2 computers, or else pay more for more than 2 installations. It works very well on two monitors simultaneously. I will create an observing list of about 180 objects in your defined area at any time of day.
In Canada it totalled $201.00 Canadian! But I decided to go for it and I have had it now for 4 months and I am very happy with it. The SkyX Serious Astronomer is quite expensive. The reason being that it hasn't progressed that much from Starry Night 6, which I have.
STARRY NIGHT PRO 5.8.4 UPGRADE
I was refunded by Simulation Curriculum for my recent upgrade to Starry Night 8 Pro.
