I have Starry Night, but it's at home now and I'm at work--but I think mine is set to Equatorial (possibly J2000, I can't remember), so it must be possible.

I would have thought "save as default" would work, but if it doesn't, try, I think it's File -> Preferences, and you get 6 or 7 categories of options--it might be one of those. These preferences do not need to be "saved"--just change them and they stick.

Truly, I have been annoyed at Starry Night's separation of different kinds of options (like MS Outlook), so you have to go multiple places to change things permanently.
