Accessible guide to the night sky.



5 out of 5 stars

##### Accessible guide to the night sky.

This is a neat little pocket sized book (112 A5 pages long) that acts as a guide to the night sky in the UK for 2024.It's written by people who clearly know their stuff, and it's written in an interesting and accessible way. They explain what the book is about and what the reader can expect from it, and there are clear illustrations and photographs with a month by month explanation of what's going on in the night sky above the UK. There's a section specifically dedicated to The Moon, and others on the planets, minor planets and comets in 2024. All you need to know in one small guide.This makes an interesting and informative read for even the most inexperienced star gazers, obviously the more knowledge you have at the outset the more you will get from the book, but any novice will find it helpful and useful.At £5.99 for the paperback version (as at 4 September 2023) I think this is a really good buy, and a lot more accessible than other, similar books I've looked at. Would recommend.

Love this book easy to use as a beginner would recommend

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2024

Gives clear charts for the night sky each month. Easy to follow and Gives good information for what can be found in the night sky over a year. As a beginner I found it very accessible and still find it useful now I know a little bit more about the night sky.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 October 2023

This is a yearly book that chronicles the going’s on in our tiny bit of the universe that we can see from earth.

It’s informative just to read.

Or to look UP at the sky, mostly by night but in the day also at things that will astound you.

Since the earth orbits the sun, along with the planets. This book informs you month by month of what particular sights you can see and when.

Remember the most ancient writings recorded happenings in the ‘heavens’ - (naked eye astronomy).

A beginner needs nothing more than to look or a half decent pair of binoculars.

Telescopes come from costing a few pounds to full blown professional rigs £++++++++

I would recommend downloading an ‘APP’, Night Sky, Sky Guide, Night Safari or any similar that appeal. Most have a free trail but for full access you need to pay in most.

The reason is the book tells you what you can see the question then is, where is it????

These ‘Apps’ will use your phone so you can quickly orientate yourself to find what the book’s telling you is of interest.

Saves a lot of frustration.

SUPER IMPORTANTLY, just because a book is telling you to look up at things in the sky…

NEVER EVER be tempted to LOOK directly at THE SUN, you will blind yourself!!!!!

Solar observation is interesting and rewarding, BUT uses super specialised kit that in many cases is more expensive that night telescopes.

At this price (Kindle version) it would be good value even if it were just average.

But it’s not average - it is pretty much perfect. Full of detail and fantastic for planning a star gazing trip or just helping to identify what you can see on a clear night.

Even on an iPhone, the kindle versions charts are clear and detailed.

Just buy it :-)
