Synopsis
“Make the Stars Your Old Friends!” . . . with Mike Lynch, America’s Master Stargazing instructor. Mike has led stargazing classes for over 30 years and has instructed 1000s of would-be backyard astronomers (and maybe a few would-be professional astronomers!)
Now with Michigan StarWatch you can easily pick up what beginning and advanced stargazers ages 12 and up have learned in his popular stargazing classes.
• Use the detailed seasonal constellation charts to quickly identify their main stars and find “celestial goodies” such as star clusters, nebulae, and other galaxies.
• Enjoy the stories and mythology of characters for whom the constellations are named, including Orion the Hunter, Cassiopeia the Queen, and Perseus the Hero.
• Locate the most prominent seasonal constellations with easy-to-use monthly star maps designed especially for Michigan’s northern latitude.
• Learn about the moon, solar and lunar eclipses, planets, as well as comets, meteor showers, and aurora borealis. There is even a planet locator guide good through 2015!
• Gain firsthand advice on purchasing a telescope and other stargazing equipment, plus find listings of local astronomy resources.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Condition: Fine (F). First Edition, Signed by Author. Pristine, unread, and exceptionally well preserved. Hardcover boards are immaculate with no rubbing, no edge wear, and no shelf wear; however, there is a tiny chip on the lower right corner of the front cover that is very small and unobtrusive. Binding is tight, square, and crisp; spine is flawless with no visible signs of handling. All 147 pages are bright, clean, and immaculate no markings, underlining, or highlighting. Approximately 40 pages show a minor fold along the right edge, a subtle production or printing related quirk rather than damage. Overall, a sharp, collector quality first printing with only minimal, well disclosed imperfections. An informative guide for beginning and experienced stargazers interested in exploring the wonders of the Michigan night sky. The book features seasonal constellation charts, star maps designed for Michigans northern latitude, and helpful information on planets, the moon, eclipses, meteor showers, comets, auroras, and other celestial sights. Lynch also shares constellation mythology, telescope buying advice, and practical tips for backyard astronomy. A useful and engaging reference for anyone interested in astronomy, stargazing, and the beauty of the night sky. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # ABE-1785105052239
