Product Description

Review
"Sky & Telescope"

The best way to learn the constellations that we have ever run across.



Product Description
Using the "Maltese Cross" star map design, widely acknowledged as superior to the conventional circular maps for locating constellations, this book provides everything amateur astronomers need. 12 maps trace the month-by-month progression of the constellations, viewed from every direction. Newly-revised tables give approximate positions of the planets for the years 1992 through 1997 and special sections discuss meteors and comets.

1.0 out of 5 stars OK in the US in the Nineties - not now in the UK, 9 Sep 2003
I am not knocking this book's factual contents, the charts seem nice and clear and there is interesting info on the mythology and science of the constellations.

But, the book is aimed at those living at 40 degrees north (for Americans, primarily) so isn't really right for the UK. Also the guides to the positions of the planets are out of date, so that important section is no use at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best star map book - by far!, 20 Jun 2000
By Rick Mark (Lake Oswego, OR) - See all my reviews
...I've probably bought at least a dozen copies over the years, for myself, for friends. It's the only star map book I've ever seen in which the maps actually look like the night sky. Very easy to use. Very well written. Has a wonderful selection of star myths and also clear, elementary explanations of the science. Highly recommended.
