Description

This useful guide for amateur astronomers includes nearly 200 photos, detailed maps of 70 constellations & general sky charts with instructions for finding your bearings among the stars. Here is everything you need to know, not only to identify the constellations, but to get the most from observing the Solar System, nebulae, star clusters & galaxies, with or without a telescope. For every heavenly object described in the text, colored symbols show at a glance what it is (a multiple star system, globular cluster, or nebula, for ex.). It’s easy to tell the magnitude of the object, & whether it can be observed with the naked eye, binoculars, or a telescope. Includes the best season for observation & tips for locating & viewing each object.
