Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An innovative guide to the night sky. Most casual stargazers and amateur astronomers have limited time to spend on their hobby. Given the choice, they would prefer to spend their time viewing stars and constellations rather than trying to find or identify them. The Concise Atlas of the Stars uses transparency overlays for the full-page images of the night to identify the stars, nebulas, galaxies and the 15 most interesting constellations. Each constellation featured is presented as a full-page spread with a transparent overlay. Details include: Name of the constellation Location, luminosity and dimensions of the main stars and most interesting objects Best time of night for observing History and characteristics Map of the constellation and its surroundings Transparency showing the outline of the constellation with its stars Full-page night-sky photo of the constellation. A concealed wiro-binding allows the book to open flat at any page to keep hands free for adjusting a telescope. Attractively illustrated with clear star maps and spectacular photographs, this book will be consulted again and again The Concise Atlas of the Stars is an accurate and handy reference to the night sky.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional star atlases are great for locating constellations and individual stars but The Star Atlas Companion goes one step further and describes the physical properties of more than 1,100 stars. With the aid of scale diagrams, the reader can get a real sense of the sizes, shapes, distances, and surface features of many of the stars visible to the naked eye in both the Nothern and Southern Hemispheres. Information on their rotational velocities and periods is given together with their spectral type and luminosity. Binary and multiple star systems are explained in detail. Special mention is made of Barnard's, Kapteyn's, Kepler's, and Van Maanen's Stars and the properties of many open clusters are given. With its emphasis on helping the amateur astronomer gain a better understanding of what they are looking at. The Star Atlas Companion will provide a new dimension to observing the star and is an invaluable supplement to any star atlas.

Book excerpt: Philip's Pocket Star Atlas is a highly practical atlas in a compact format for use out of doors. It contains a series of detailed maps showing the entire night sky, as well as a wealth of useful astronomical data. It is suitable for use anywhere in the world.This popular star atlas is now in its fifth edition, for which it has been fully revised and updated. It presents the sky in a series of 18 maps, showing stars down to magnitude 5.1. This includes all stars visible to the naked eye in semi-rural conditions.Accompanying the star maps is a brief round-up of the basics of astronomy, including celestial coordinates, the ecliptic, magnitudes, spectral types, constellation and star names, the Solar System, the movements of the Sun and the Moon, eclipses and deep-sky objects. Clear and colourful diagrams help to explain these sometimes complicated concepts for the less-experienced observer.In addition, Philip's Pocket Star Atlas includes a series of tables packed with useful practical information, such as the position and brightness of the deep-sky objects marked on the maps, dates of forthcoming solar and lunar eclipses, dates for when best to observe Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, plus the dates of the major meteor showers.
