A little dissappointing
My daughter and I love to study about animals together but we find this cd a little boring. However, it will come in handy for looking up specific information about birds ,for school projects, or home study. It is worth $[money]. ... Read more

Great Program!
This is a great program for people interested in astronomy. It helps me find which star(s) I'm going to use to align with (by the way I have an etx 70 at and its great!) and also what celestial wonders I'm going to view. You can even go back to the 1200's and find objects that were up at that time. Also you can go up in time by how much time you desire so you can see what will be up that night. One note though, make sure you know your coordnates so you can punch them is and it will take you to where you are. Definatly purchase this and the etx 70 at if you are a begginer to amatuer astronomer.

It's Great
I have enjoyed this product since i put the game in my computer. I love it. I think everyone who likes space like me should try this game.

Starry Night
This is an excellent way to learn astronomy and stargzing. I purchased the "Starter" edition then upgraded to "Backyard" though this is not really necessary to get value out of the purchase. Both editions come with a book that is so similar it is redundant, but there was no choice when upgrading online at the manufacturer's site.

Starry Night has many features that will help any level of astronomy student. Backyard allows one to travel further back and forward in time to understand the motion of the Universe. It also has more stars (supposedly one million, but who's counting).

The book(s) is(are) well written and reference the software so one can actually see what is being described. I hope other scientific books follow a similar path. The software is easy to use and lots of fun. My kids and I have spent much time looking at the features and will likely do so for years to come.

I want more
This product is great. I just bought it yesterday, and within an hour, I was intrigued by it's capabilities. Definitely worth the money. I had trouble deciding on whether to get Starry Night backyard Special Edition, or Starry Night Pro. I chose Strarry Night backyard, and I agree with the other reviewers, it is very easy to use, right out of the package.
It shows you the stars as you would see them, right in your own backyard. You can zoom in and out, view the sky as time flies from morning till night, or day to day. You can go back in time, and into the future. You can change your location to view the stars from different planets.
I even viewed Earth from Mars !
The only problem I had, was that I wanted more.
Starry Night Backyard Special Edition is not at the level that I want to explore the night sky.
I need something a little more advanced, so I've just bought Starry Night Pro.
Now I can hook my telescope up to my computer, and use the Strary Night Pro program, to view the night sky from my telescope.

Great program for beginners & casual users
Starry Night offers an easy to use interface that can be used 'out of the box.' It looks great and runs great on a Radeon video card giving smooth realtime animation. The star and constellations are labeled, plus there are other navigation features that can be switched on/off. Different points of view show the movement of planets relative to each other and the star background, making it easy to find the planets and know what their position will be in the future. Also I recommend spending the extra $10 to get the book, it explains many of the basic concepts in an easy to read and understand format. Now if only it could just do something about those cloudy nights. ... Read more

A starting point in yo-ing
To start anything a person needs the basics. This cd-rom provides just that: the basics. It gives all the standard yo-ing movements which can then be combine to create much more complicated moves. The movies and step-by-step drawings are valuable for beginners. Since this product is developed by a particular company, the list of the yo-yos are limited to those of that company. It's not even up-to-date. Overall, it's still a good program for someone who is beginning to learn how to yo.

cool
This is an awsome set .It had all the stuff needed except the computer. ... Read more
