Overview

"There are many books on finding your way round the night sky, but the Photo-guide to the Constellations is unique in showing photographs of how the sky really looks under a variety of different seeing conditions, from city outskirts to the almost-perfect skies deep in the countryside. Along with a detailed step-by-step guide to ""star hopping"" and other useful techniques, these make this an invaluable guide for all newcomers to astronomy."
