rating: 5 QuoteThe passion of star gazing ...Quote
The film visits many of the places and people which Timothy Ferris writes about in his book. It shows the passion and somtimes you can really feel it too.
I can highly recommend the film to everyone who already enjoyed the book. You will see the equipment of Robert Gendler and many others, watch Timothy Ferris' spectacular home observatory ... September 15, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteWonderful videoQuote
This DVD makes a great companion to the book "Seeing in the Dark" by Timothy Ferris. After viewing several times, I felt compelled to purchase a telescope. The saying "enthusiasm is contagious" is true here. Ferris loves his work, and if you have any interest in astronomy, I predict you will love this, too. I wished it were an hour longer, but perhaps like any great entertainment, the key is to "always leave the audience wanting more." With it's beautiful photography and terrific narration by the author, Seeing in the Dark is a must have for any astronomy buff. January 14, 2008

Makes you want to go find that telescope in your attic and check out this amazing universe of ours. October 31, 2007

The photography, the music and the story are really, really good and it provides a good introduction to amateur astronomy. I highly recommend it. I have to be fair, though, and disclose that I am in it!

We have watched this DVD twice now and believe it to be one of Timothy Ferris's finest. It imparts the excitement of astronomy and has been exceptionally well produced. We will watch it again, and share it with our friends. Well done!
