A FIELD GUIDE TO THE STARS AND
PLANETS
by J. M. Pasachoff
This book is the clearest, most complete,
and up-to-date pocket guide to the heavens. Although compiled primarily
for amateur astronomers, its utility for celestial navigation is obvious.
Its features include: brief introductory tours of the nighttime sky; monthly
sky maps for both northern and southern hemispheres; 52 detailed atlas
charts of the entire sky; special timetables showing when the brightest
stars, clusters, galaxies, and planets are visible; over 230 photographs
(132 in color) of the most interesting objects in the sky. S C, 1992, 528
pages. SW 1.3 lbs.
