CANSTAR

Turn Left at Orion

← Resources Library  |  Books & reference works

A guide to a hundred night-sky objects for observers with a small telescope, with the distinctive format of one object per spread showing how deep-sky objects and planets actually look through a small instrument, rather than how they look in a photograph. It includes dedicated chapters on Northern and Southern Hemisphere objects and a night-by-night Moon section. With over 150,000 copies sold since 1989, it is the standard practical companion for anyone guiding a telescope session — and its honest realism about what a visitor will actually see is a useful corrective to over-promising. By Guy Consolmagno & Dan M. Davis.
