While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Three options come to mind (although I have yet to try them out since
I've only had my LX200 for two days and it arrived with a dud power
supply :^( ):

Voyager III with Skypilot (http://www.carinasoft.com/). Kind of
expensive and the web site is abysmal with out-of-date info,
conflicting prices, etc.

TheSky for Mac (http://www.bisque.com/). I have it on order.

Starry Night (http://siennasoftware.com/) seems to have a third party
plug in that will do the trick.

I'm a computer geek, so I'll probably create some software of my own
once I get this blasted telescope to go live.
