Synopsis:
This pocket guide introduces the sky for beginners to stargazing, describing what is visible with the naked eye and small optical instruments, and features charts produced by the world's leading celestial map-maker, Wil Tirion. The physical properties of the planets and their appearances are described fully, while the Sun and Moon are examined in comprehensive detail, including a specially commissioned map for the identification of lunar features. Advice is also provided on the purchase and use of simple optical equipment, such as binoculars and small telescopes. Other work by the author includes "Star Tales", a book about the mythology of the constellations. He also is the editor of "Norton's 2000.0", and is editor-in-chief of "Popular Astronomy", the magazine for amateur astronomers.
