PHILIP`S PRACTICAL ASTRONOMY
The book is organized in two parts: 'Introducing Astronomy' provides the essential information on how to observe, whether with the naked eye, binoculars or a small telescope; where and when to look; how to find your way around the sky by 'constellation-hopping'; how to use star maps and planispheres; and how to record your observations with drawings and photographs. 'Exploring the Sky' looks in more detail at the objects the amateur can view, from aurorae and meteors (shooting stars) to the Moon, Sun, planets and comets, and beyond to stars, nebulae, the Milky Way and other galaxies. Philip's Practical Astronomy is illustrated with some spectacular colour photographs as well as clear and informative diagrams, with detailed star charts by Wil Tirion, the world-renowned celestial cartographer.
