Well after getting the DVD i was surprised that it did not work. So had a look and it is zone one which is no good hear we are zone 4. But there is a fix. Get DVD Shrink and rezoned it. After rezoning the DVD i was able to sit down and watch it. This DVD is very good. There is a lot of different telescopes to see and amateur astronomers doing some research on discovering planets and exploding stars. Basically it is about exploring the skies with a telescope and what can be done with then. Very good DVD one to watch again and agian.

Personally I thought that the content was good, but I didn't care much for the narration style. If he had talked about 50% faster, it would have been perfect.
