5.0 out of 5 stars Pleased with Redshift 7, March 15, 2009

By	Jenny (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

First of all I am a beginner in astronomy. The guided tours proved to be very helpful, since they explain all kinds of phenomena in an understandable way. It is also fun to see how the sky would look like if it was dark at noon or go back in time and see what was going on in the sky on my birthday. Redshift 7 Premium is very powerful with many filters and functions. It takes some time to get to know the options and not everything is where you would expect it at first. However the help is very detailed and the service is excellent. So overall a Big Bang for the Buck :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Planetarium Software for everyone, March 14, 2009

By	Ron (Virginia) - See all my reviews

Redshift 7 runs great on my Vista computer!
This software has a wide variety of multimedia content (covers space missions, solar system, constellations, etc.), which is well suited for beginners and intermediates. Compared to Google Sky, and the like, it is scientifically precise and therefore you can plan observations and have a realistic model of the night sky. Getting acquainted with the menu structure took some getting used to, but I guess that is part of learning how the software works. All in all Redshift 7 is an amazing value for $80!

5.0 out of 5 stars Redshift 7 and Vista, March 10, 2009

By	Peter Andersson (Sweden) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Redshift 7 Premium is running perfectly on
my Fujitsu, Vista Home Premium computer.

This is, in my opinion, by far the best
astronomy software on the market. I have
tryed a lot of them!

It is the most versatiled of them all.
You can change most everything to suit Your
way of using the software.

A nice feature is, where other softwares uses
a picture of the sky as background, Redshift
lets the computer generate every star and other
objects whit its own motion.
