Anyone been to any of these shows? Good? Bad? Especially for some clueless guy who just bought some crazy telescope?

Searcher=a huge disappointment. Unanimous 3 thumbs down, in spite of, or maybe because of, the new technology.

Earth, Sun, Moon the lowest tech but best of the three, to me. A little slow, but old school good.

Don't recall the third one...

The caliber of the new shows, do not live up to the hype of the new capabilities of the multi-million dollar system.

(I feel that most all contemporary planetarium shows dumb down the content dramatically - going for the easy "light show" to impress.)

The old Zeiss projector had charm.

I think I saw the 3D one, Great Observatories, when I went to the Adler After Dark over the summer (which is where I met Joe who handed me a card which got me here )

I'll have to dig on Netflix and see if there's some movies on there that I can learn from too. (My home projector is quite charming ) Any suggestions?

I watched this one www.400years.org - pretty cool

Watching this right now...
