This comprehensive handbook contains charts of the stars in all 88 constellations of the night sky, as well as a concise overview of astronomy presented in nine short chapters. The constellation maps, exquisitely drafted by Wil Tirion, show all stars visible to the naked eye as well as the brighter nebulas and galaxies. Each map has a clear explanation of the more interesting objects in the constellation depicted. The compact format of this book makes it a suitable companion when vacationing, trekking or camping.
