Stargazing for Beginners [Hardcover]

A clear night sky is far easier to read with a plan, and this DK hardcover sets out how to find constellations, planets and events without specialist equipment. The 264 page volume works as a practical guide first: star charts, seasonal notes and advice on observing conditions sit alongside explanations of what is being looked at. DK's layout keeps diagrams and photographs close to the text, so a reader can match a chart to the sky instead of holding two separate ideas in mind. It is written for people starting out, including those who have bought a first pair of binoculars or a small telescope. Useful to know: • Hardcover, 264 pages, DK • Star charts and seasonal observing guidance • Written for beginners without specialist gear • Illustrations placed alongside the relevant explanations A good starting point for new amateur astronomers and for families taking up sky watching together, published by DK and available at Boipoka.
