Does it really perform as advertised;

I've got 3 or 4 astronomy softwares. 2 commercial and 2 freeware. I pretty much always use Starry Night. I still haven't figured everything out on it and have had it for over a year now.

and, does it compensate for the change between Gregorian & Juian calandars,

Haven't fiddled with it much but you can manually enter either calander date, or switch between the two. I assume that it compensates correctly when you switch around.

Not sure it really matters as long as you know the date your looking for in either format, you'd have to ask a real astronomer probably and not my back yard hackness.

Thanks to both of you.

Reading ads is one thing; real users’ private opinions are worth much more.

Still time for the wife to order it for me for Christmas.
