Thinking about getting this... I currently use Stellarium... I assume Starry Night is pretty useful then?

I was thinking of getting this. Would it be useful for a total novice?

I know SN Pro is fantastic, but not cheap at over £100 in think :shock:

Whether the standard edition is any good???

I use Starry Night pro5 and it is superb and once you learn to navigate the software it is useful for anyone,novice to expert,you can set the magnitude of the stars you wish to be able to see,Messier objects,etc anything thats up there you can see it on Starry Night.

As for what Lidl is selling, i couldn't say how good it is but being Starry Night it wont be rubbish.

Thats a good price , its listed as $49.95 at Starrynightstore.com. I am gradually getting to grips with SN Pro Plus 6.2.1

Nice program

I bought one along with 3 Bresser binos. The manager let me return a damaged pair (bought back in April) and exchange it for a new one. I showed them a bank statement, I didn't have the receipt. I haven't opened the Starry Night disk yet, it's supposed to be my Xmas present.

I bought one today from Lidl in Aylesbury and was charged only £3.99. Not sure if it was a mistake or a further discount.
