| Description | xiv, 172p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | Orion is a familiar constellation. He even looks like a hunter â at least itâs easy to visualize his belt and sword.
Since the very beginning of astronomy, people have looked up at the night sky and constructed patterns out of the almost random scattering of stars. The fact that the constellations are still used today reflects their usefulness in identifying bright stars in the rotating dome of the sky
But why stop there?
What applies to big groups of stars can also be applied to smaller ones â so here is a set of memorable mini-constellations to help astronomers identify and remember stars in typical binocular or low-magnification telescopic fields. Size, stellar magnitudes, and coordinates are provided, along with north direction, star-hopping instructions and Sky Atlas 2000 references.
Not only is this book a new and effective aid to navigating the night sky, itâs also the basis of a great group activity for star parties â guessing and visualizing entirely new star patterns! |

| Description | xiv, 518p. |
| Series | (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) |
| Abstract Note | The night sky is filled with stellar wonders, sparkling jewels that hide within them fantastic faraway suns. The ancients saw pictures formed by the stars and thus were born the constellations, which are still used today to identify and locate stars.
After providing enough background information on astronomy to arm you for your trip, Bojan Kambic leads you through the major constellations seen in the northern skies, pointing out the most important sites and guiding you to finding them yourself using mainly just binoculars. You will soon find yourself becoming familiar with the best equipment to use, the best times to observe, and the best conditions in which to observe. You will also soon find yourself at home among the stars, seeking out new challenges and enjoying repeated visits with old friends. |
