I have used pocket stars....I find it excellent for sight reduction and
the starfinder/skymap feature is nice also.  Price is great (low) and
the ability to download and play with a demo version is a tremendous
selling feature.  Note there are multiple versions of the almanac
available to download depending on digital memory available.  You need
to have a Windows CE pocket PC for it to work but if that cost is
already sunk (you own one) this is the way to go

Subject: Non-traditional Sight Reduction

More and more navigators are still using their sextants but using
software
for sight reduction.

I am interested in user experience with the following software:

- AstroNavPC (NavPac)
- Navigator
- StarPilot
- Celestnav PDA
- Pocket Stars
- The Cap'n
- Nobeltec Admiral and Navigation Suite

I would appreciate comments on user friendliness and features (included
or
missing)

Thanks
