Getting around the Sky

Easy to use and fabulous tool for anyone wishing to become intimately familiar with the changes in the sky. Somewhat less easy to install with portions requiring an intuitive approach, but well worth the momentary confusion the instructions, or lack thereof, create. Stuck in the city where viewing stars is a challenge, this is a purchase well worth the cost.Explorations: An Introduction to Astronomy (Case Bound) with Starry Night Pro DVD, version 5.0

Necessary for a Class

This book was necessary for a class but I also found it interesting and I am learning a lot more that I did not know before.

Explorations

This book is very detailed and the CD-Rom has excellent pictures. The only downfall is that the mathmatical functions are not detailed enough for me.

Excellent

This is the best Astronomy text that I have ever seen. It is filled with colorful photos and diagrams, and delves into the more interesting aspects of astronomy. A must for any Astronomy teacher, student, or amateur astronomer. It's also included with a great CD that has planetarium software on it.
