  • I live in New Zealand. Does viewing the stars differ much from the Southern Hemisphere?

    Thanks from down under.

  • @blackprincess82 You do see a whole set of stars I can't see here in the northern hemisphere, including the Magellanic clouds. If you download the free desktop software from stellarium org you can change your position to anywhere on the globe and get an idea of what you're missing. :-)

  • Great piece of advice for beginners :) I'm an amateur astronomer and I'll write to you if I get stuck any where . I hope you'll answer them. Great thanks for the video :)

  • @isaikrishna Thanks, I'm alway available for questions.

  • I really liked Stellarium but it gave me bugs,shoot! Can I purchase something affordable without the bugs.

  • @AnaTipton I personally have not experienced much in the way of bugs with Stellarium but dealers like Orion and optcorp com do sell software.
