Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionBased on the search results, there appears to be a newer version available - Starry Night Celestron 8.1 Standard was mentioned in an application update list, suggesting the software has been updated beyond the 7.6.5 version you have. However, the search results don't provide clear information about Apple Silicon compatibility for either version. I recommend checking the official Starry Night website or Celestron's software page for the latest version and compatibility information. If native Apple Silicon support isn't available, the current Intel version should run through Rosetta 2 translation, though with potentially reduced performance.
