Synopsis
Look up to the sky -- do you know the names of what you see, and how to find any heavenly body? Three superb maps show the stars and constellations of the northern and southern hemispheres, and the equatorial region. Every star visible to the naked eye is here, with fainter star clusters and nebulae marked for those using binoculars or small telescopes. Constellations, double stars, and variable starts are listed. Plus: information on how to use these charts throughout the year, from any latitude.
