STARRY NIGHT [Posted on 2007-10-30] Starry Night is technically a good product but is not very user friendly in use. Limited view area due to clutter in the page layout limits the useability of the product and the screen area setting of 1024 X 768 pixels required is not very compatible with most older Windows programs. I have to change my screen settings each time I use Starry Night to get the best page layout and then change back again when I leave the program. Several of the programs provided with telescopes are better at providing a much more realistic view of the night sky for star location. Advantages of Starry Night are very current data on satellites, comets and other fleeting phonemena most of which is only visible to observers in very rural areas away from urban light pollution.
a wonderful program! [Posted on 2008-01-01] Starry Night is the best astronomy program i have ever seen! Starry Night is very easy to use and it has great graphics! Starry night has great pictures of the planets and has a cool spaceship mode allowing you to travel through the universe and visit other galaxies! Definantly a great program for the astronomy beginner!
Beautiful night sky [Posted on 2008-01-03] I have always enjoyed looking up at the night sky but I couldn't identify very many stars or planets. With Starry Night Complete Space & Astronomy Pack I have solved my problem. It will show me what the sky will look like before I go outside. It names the stars that I am trying to locate. In most cases it will even give me the proper pronunciation of each star. I have learned how to go forward or back in time to see what the sky will look like when I'm on my next vacation or what it looked like on the night that I was born. Love the program and recommend it for any amateur astronomer.
bought as gift - recipient really likes it [Posted on 2008-02-08] Bought this as gift for someone who's been into astronomy for awhile. I didn't know much about it; had to rely on the reviews of previous purchasers. She told me it's terrific - no problems computerwise and it does everything it advertises.
Retired Pro photographer [Posted on 2008-05-25] I like the manfrotto mono pod. It os light weight. My canon 70-200 zoom has a collar and i can lossen it a bit for vertical as well as horizontal shots. The only problem is the bottom pull out could be a made sturdier.
That is why i gave it 4 stars.
