Whats the difference between Starry Night Pro Plus and AstroPhoto Suite?
Starry Night Pro Plus is the only version of Starry Night which contains the full-color AllSky CCD mosaic of the entire night sky. The reason that Astrophoto Suite is more expensive than Pro Plus is because it comes with a (Lite) version of MaxIm DL imaging software. Please note that the Starry Night product that comes in AstroPhoto Suite is the equivalent of Starry Night Pro, NOT Starry Night Pro Plus. The “AstroPhoto” version of Starry Night does NOT, for example, have the AllSky image and other features exclusive to Pro Plus. Also note that Starry Night Pro Plus 6 comes complete with the plugin necessary to interface with any version of MaxIm DL but does NOT come with a version of MaxIm (Lite or otherwise.) If you’re already an owner of the full version of MaxIm DL, you want Pro Plus (which will interface with MaxIm DL for importing images, etc.) Starry Night Astrophoto Suite is meant for people who do not have MaxIm DL, but would like to do some imaging with webcams and select DSLR
