Includes:
• Unique yearly planetary data, available as a downloadable web resource

• Descriptions of all the 88 constellations and their stars opposite a specially prepared chart showing the constellation in relation to the surrounding skies
• Detailed information on stars, nebulae, galaxies, the Moon and the Solar System
• Practical advice on choosing and using binoculars and telescopes
