Guide to the Night Sky

About this book

The Night Sky guide is a concise guide to the stars of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

This guide to the stars tells you how to find your way around the night sky, plus how to identify some of the planets, stars and constellations. Maps of the main features pick out the main constellations for each season. Accompanying text covers the Earth’s moon, planets of the Solar System, comets and the aurora. You don’t need a telescope to study the objects in the sky. Instead, ordinary binoculars will show you a great deal. As well as using them to identify the planets, they will show you stars and other objects that are invisible to the naked eye.

This popular night sky guide measures 24.5 cm × 17.5 cm and is extremely lightweight so the perfect visual identification chart for packing on a night excursion. All the FSC nature identification guides are laminated, meaning they are showerproof for use outside and can be wiped clean.
