About this title

Synopsis

Though other field guides might have glossy, magazine-like pages and images, few can compare in terms of practicality (as raves from Dr. Thomas Bopp and David Levy attest). Coverage includes monthly star charts and suggestions for those learning to find constellations; information for observing the moon, planets, conjunctions, meteors and comets, the sun, and lunar and solar eclipses; a telescope overview followed by charts and photos of about 20 of the most spectacular deep sky objects; state-by-state tables of monthly sunrise/sunset times; and a glossary of terms.
