A complete practical guide to viewing the universe, covering equipment, sky measures, star brightness, what moves in the sky, the light-pollution factor, telescope recommendations and detailed deep-sky charts with a checklist of treasures. Its seasonal star charts present a 360-degree simulation of the night sky on one page with identification on the facing page. Particularly useful for training guides and for setting realistic expectations about light pollution and what a visitor will actually be able to see from a given site. By Terence Dickinson.
