 Easy, vivid, FUN!Jul 24, 2007

This program came with my astronomy book I bought for my college class. The professor didn't require it's use but recommended it and being that I'm majoring in the subject, HAD to try it out.
It is so awesome! It's easy to use. The graphics are amazing. You learn so much and even if you have no knowledge of the stars or planets and you live somewhere that you can't easliy access a telescope, this is the best program to use to learn more about such an interesting subject.

Beautiful night skyJan 03, 2008
By W. F. Lehman
"unclebilll"
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.

 STARRY NIGHTOct 30, 2007
By Duane Houck
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.

 Not as good as Red ShiftSep 17, 2007
By D. Fairchilds
Not as good as the old Red Shift software from 1995. This product is cumbersome, not even a little intuitive, and lacks on screen pop-up windows to identify functions of icons. There is a lot of fluff included, but precious little substance. When I emailed the company complaining of the fact that menu items in my edition were non-functional or non-existent I received a luke warm response stating roughly... "too bad". The one and only nice touch is it's ability to track and present major satelites... the rest of the graphics are marginal and clutter the screen.
