Inspiring film, wish it was longer
Everything about this film is top notch, except at 60 minutes, I was left wanting more. Every one of the 60 minutes in the film is a gem, but it's so well done that you wish it could have been a 90 or 120 minute piece.Neil deGrasse Tyson is a fine narrator, and his enthusiasm for the topic is present without sneaking through. Dr. Tyson loves astronomy, and sometimes his excitement can overwhelm. Here, he is right on the mark.If you have even the most remote interest in astronomy or science, you'll enjoy this movie. You may also find yourself looking at telescope prices so that you can have the same experience as Galileo. (Quick bit of advice: if you do shop for telescopes, ignore claims of "power." What you really want is light-gathering ability, or the size of the lens. The bigger the scope, the more you'll get to see.)

Star Party Club Favorite
On cloudy nights, our astronomy club members bring interesting programs among other antidotes to help while away the time in hope of cloud breaks. Thusly I have seen more than my share of astronomy type programs good and bad. A member brought "the visible universe" in which I had not previously viewed and immediately liked it.What I liked was that it panned and zoomed to all the interesting points of objects that I know to be interesting from my own research and observations. The pictures were clear and the detail was fine, most pictures were Not over zoomed, nor did they pass to quickly. The music was very well done, albeit strange and unique in an upbeat fashion. We watched it twice back to back that evening, the later muted. Since then, I have purchased this program and view it regularly, usually in the background.I would suggest that this program is geared towards virtually any person even remotely interested in astronomical objects in space. It is not in...

Hubble Space Telescope images are brilliant!!!
I rather enjoyed this DVD. The DVD images are stunningly brilliant in color and clarity. The music was very well done with sort of a groovy motion slide show thing going on. Since i've seen it half dozen times already, I would certainly recommend this to any space enthusiast.

Better than Expected - Outstanding!
This program actually surprised us. All imagery is very vivid and in perpetual motion which is in contrast to other DVD's we bought. The music was varying and overall added to the experience. It seemed like the makers were trying to set a different mood throughout the program. Overall, we're glad we got it. Now we just need a bigger TV...

Customer Review

Wouldn't want to go out with out it
There are two small atlases I consider to be absolutely indispensable. Sky and Telescope's Pocket Sky Atlas is one of them. The charts in this atlas were well chosen. Each covers just the right amount of sky to give both a good perspective of the area you are looking at, and enough detail for star hopping with binoculars or finder scope, (stars are shown down to magnitude 7.6). Stick figures highlight the constellations to provide an easy and intuitive reference for what part of the sky the chart covers. An all sky view key of the charts is provided at the back of the book so that charts are easily located. The charts are well organized and very easy to navigate.The charts are printed in color and are works of art in their own right. Not only is the atlas useful in the field, but it is a pleasure to browse through anytime.The construction of the atlas is also very well done. It is spiral bound so that the charts open flat, making them easy to view. The...

Very Usable and Practical Atlas
Roger Sinnott's Pocket Sky Atlas fills a big void and vital niche- one that emphasises portability, usability and practicality. Everything in this little volume is extremely well thought out- from the quality of the book, the practical spiral bound layout, the scale of the star maps, clear and readable printing, intelligent and helpful labelling of stars and deep sky objects (you will appreciate the use of popular names for some DSO's), to a pure user friendly feel. There is even a helpful Telrad target scale and angular distance for quick estimations. Eminently suitable for the field, this is also a great planning atlas for astrophotographers and visual observers alike. For visual observation, this atlas shines when partenered with a Telrad finder (I really hate the flimisier Riger finder!).The only place I think this atlas comes up short is if you are doing serious star hopping under the telescope. This is understandable given the scale of the atlas. I recommend...

Pocket Sky Atlas
This atlas is thoughtfully laid out for use at the telescope in the field. The paper is a heavy dull-white stock that does not show reflection under a red light. Because the book is spiral bound, the pages lay flat freeing up your hands. No more trying to find a heavy object to keep the pages from turning.Inside the front cover you will find printed a sample double page chart layout with a legend. Also printed is an angular distance scale and a Telrad bull's eye. I made a clear transparency copy of this page using an 8 ½" x 11"sheet of overhead projector film by running it through a copy machine. I cut out the angular scale and then I cut the Telrad bull's eye in a long rectangle about 1" x 3" leaving the bull's eye at one end and using the other end as a handle to move the finder around the map. I put these in a small envelope and tucked it inside the atlas.The contents page lists the best months to view the objects by R.A. range during evening, midnight...

Buy a Telescope

Also for the telescope i would like to buy something that would allow me to take picture or short videos through it. Cost is not a problem so can anyone tell me a good telescope that can do the things im looking for. But i want a telescope that i can input what i want to look at and for the telescope to find it on its own. I want one that can be used to see all the planets in our solar system and i also want one that can see things in deep space like nebulars and things.

You also want ensure that the eyepiece can fit the eyepiece burner in the telescope as not all fit all telescopes. Listed below are a few points to always remember so you don’t buy a telescope that won’t service what you necessity or wish it to do. High supremacy magnification is not often the primary consideration. The primary function to consider when buying a telescope is aperture. The aperture dimensions that stick to are typically sufficient: Refractors – 3 in. or 80 mm, Reflectors – 4 to 8 in. or 10 to 20mm, and Substance Telescopes – 6 to 8 in. or 16 to 20 cm. A focuser can go the eyepiece up and down assisting to... Remember, though, the most significant telescope is not often a wiser one. Check out hours the eyepieces that include the telescope.

A lot of people, who actually think of buying a telescope, possibly try out a regional department shop or gift retail store and get just about any telescope they already have available. One of the leading benefits associated with buying online is that you could find the best telescope for you personally, and you can go for the most beneficial prices for telescopes on the web.

There are numerous department stores promoting telescopes, nonetheless, to shop for some sort of telescope which supports most people with checking out physical objects clearly during the night skies, you will have to fully understand a few tips. You buy the telescope and go back home, use it in place and go to glance at the Silent celestial body. You posture your personal telescope to observe the Moon, the truth is craters, and find that eventually as you go to call a person to take a look, they take a look and it will be gone. For many this could be the whole of there astronomy pastime, but for a number of committed individuals, they will quickly pick up the drive, and get a new telescope that is suited to astronomy and looking at targets at night heavens. For most people the ability to journey to a telescope retail outlet is usually a pilgrimage, and there is not that many places available. Quickly frustration takes over along with the department store / gift retailer telescope is decide to put within the loft, and not made use of again.
