Customer Reviews

Colorful, Space Fun, Easy to Install
Simple, Fun on the computer, you can view the photos in their natural glory, each one labled for identification & learning of some of the comos' most beautiful objects. Easily can use this software as a screen saver, automated slide show, wallpaper, and even as an "image puzzle", just by following the simple, clear Installation instructions. The simplicity and ease of setup of the software, certainly made this a good purchase for the money.

Awed, then Disappointed
I purchased this screen saver pack hoping that I'd be able to import the pictures into my current screen saver software, WebShots. However, Second Nature has created a similar screen saver program and the pictures are saved in a proprietary format. Therefore, you either use the screen saver program provided or say 'Bye bye' to your investment. Second Nature offers 1000s more pictures at a website, similar to WebShots. Unfortunately, I'm too vested in my current program to begin anew.
Also, the resolution of the photos doesn't hold when your display is set to 1280x1024. Most of the photos are blurry. Perhaps at 800x600?

Through the eye of the hubble
I first saw this at my girlfriend's house - extraordinary and mesmerizing graphics. Have to get my own now at this fantastic price on Amazon.com!
