To be honest, if you need planning software that will work, bite the bullet, pay a few dollars and get a good program.
What do I use:
SkyTools 3. I use the Professional version, but it is available in a less expensive edition that is all many folks need.
Deep-Sky Planner. It is an excellent program that just keeps getting better.

Another +1 for Skytools3, our club got together and made an order and I decided for the pro level. Worth every penny IMO and it is 'deep'. There used to be some video tut's about using in different ways. The tri-view and fov/equip customization, nightly planner and noteboard / image, sky and area, interactive atlas, and yes that double star info... took me a bit to find and understand - what is great is it's all integrated and pretty seamless, easy to bounce around in.

Apart from the ridiculous program registration process, Deep Sky Planner Version 6 is very good and interfaces with Starry Night. I think I paid around US $70.00
