Product Description

Star-Hopping - Your Visa to Viewing the Universe

Review

'... the ultimate observing guide that belongs in every library - public, university, and the individual star-gazer's ... Garfinkle's book can open up new observing horizons for the beginner and even show the seasoned observer a few new tricks ... Most enthusiastically recommended.' Choice

'It contains a vast amount of information for all amateur astronomers ... packed with valuable information of all kinds - technical, visual, cartographic and historical - of use to novice and old hand alike ... Additionally, in using the stars themselves to navigate the confusion of starlight, the book imparts a special gift - a thorough knowledge of the night sky.' Steve Ringwood, Modern Astronomer

'This book is excellently produced and makes fascinating reading.' Irish Astronomical Journal

'... the best explanatory diagrams I have seen are included ... Information given on stars and objects encountered during the star-hops is excellent.' Astronomy & Space
