About the Book

(Illustrations are best viewed on a tablet.)

An introductory guide to navigating your way around the night sky and identifying what you can see on any given night.

Please note that this is the 2004 edition. Chart data is accurate to the end of 2009.

Designed as a comprehensive introduction for the beginner and those who want to find out more, How to Identify the Night Sky covers everything that can be seen with the naked eye and binoculars, as well as what is visible using a small telescope.

There are sections on how to observe and understand the objects that comprise the night sky, the moon, the movements of the stars and planets throughout the year and astronomical events.

The constellations are given a comprehensive treatment. For each one there is a chart, a photograph, a description of its features and history, the best dates and times of visibility, the mythological representation and a list of interesting objects.
